Real Madrid is close to make the most expensive signing in its history

Borussia Dortmund is preparing for another month of August in the transfer market. In the same way as in other years with the sale of players such as Dembele (120 million euros), Sancho (90), Pulisic (64), Aubameyang (64), Haaland (60) …

Now it’s Jude Bellingham’s turn, the 19-year-old English midfielder wanted by Real Madrid.

The German club’s board of directors has an excellent relationship with Mark Bellingham, the player’s father and agent, and both have already been summoned to an urgent meeting to determine the terms of his departure.

The team must travel to Marbella on January 6 for a one-week winter pre-season and a meeting has already been scheduled between Mark Bennett, who advises the father, Hans-Joachim Wätzki and Sebastian Kehl, CEO and Sporting Director respectively at Borussia and of course Judd Bellingham. And his father, Mark.

The reason is to confirm Judd’s desire to leave the Bundesliga at the end of this season and to agree on exit terms. In the same way he did earlier with Mino Raiola at the beginning of Haaland’s rise. Neither the Norwegian nor the English have a release clause.

Borussia, who signed Bellingham in 2020 for €25m, wants to move on the following terms. Fixed amount of €100m plus €40m in performance-based variables.

This means similar terms to the sale of Dembele by Barcelona and it is clear that it will become one of the most expensive deals in the history of football and the largest in the history of Real Madrid since Hazard at a cost of 115 million and Bale 100 million.
