The situation
As published by the German newspaper Sport Bild on the cover, Borussia Dortmund is counting on selling the English pearl of just 19 years old for a figure of more than 150 million euros , an amount that would exceed the 140 kilos that FC Barcelona paid for Ousmane Dembélé including goals. Of course, there are not many clubs on the European scene that can throw the house out the window for the new fashionable midfielder. Always according to Sport Bild , there are a total of four interested clubs that would also be to Bellingham’s liking. These are Real Madrid, City, Chelsea and Liverpool, the latter however with serious difficulties in reaching the 150 million euros they are asking for in Dortmund . The remaining three, in addition to also liking Bellingham to take the next step in his still young career, would have the economic muscle to be able to face the signing. All have established first contacts with the environment of a player who will be the one to decide.
The details
Borussia, at the moment, has the upper hand by the handle. Bellingham has a contract until 2025 without a termination clause , so if the player rejects the succulent offer to renew (he would go on to earn 15 kilos a year), he would at least earn a huge amount of money for a footballer he brought from Birmingham in exchange for 25 million euros in 2020. Of course, Real Madrid would not be a viable option for Bellingham if they renew Toni Kroos or Luka Modric. It will be after the World Cup when I make a decision, a key moment also for the future of the two Madrid supporters. Pep Guardiola, aware that Bellingham would be the perfect replacement for Ilkay Gündogan in City midfield, also tries to seduce the player. “It’s not just about the quality, but also how he shouts and addresses the team or addresses the referee. This boy is something special in terms of mentality”, he said after the 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League a week ago. At the Etihad, Bellingham would meet again with Erling Haaland , a striker who left Borussia last summer to beat all Premier League scoring records. He is coming soap opera.
