Real Madrid closes the signing of the season after a year of negotiations
The Spanish newspaper Marca said that Real Madrid managed to close the season deal after negotiations that lasted for a year, amid a struggle with major clubs in the English Premier League such as Liverpool and Manchester City.
Marca report:
Real Madrid is about to finalize the signing of Judd Bellingham for next season. After several months of working in the shadows, the Whites were left on their own in the race for the player Liverpool and City also wanted.
The two English clubs put a lot of money on Bellingham’s table, but Real Madrid are now working to close the deal after deciding to only play for the Santiago Bernabeu. Liverpool and City know that and that is why they have already withdrawn.
As Marca has learned, the Whites have not given up at any point, in a transfer strategy that began a year ago and has now culminated in an agreement in principle, in which the Englishman will become a Real Madrid player from June 30 and sign until 2029.
Borussia Dortmund are already used to the idea that their star will leave the German team this summer and are already talking to Real Madrid about the fee for the deal. Bild reports that Dortmund is asking for 140 million euros and that Real Madrid expect to close them for a slightly smaller sum, between 100 and 120 million.
It does not seem that the agreement with the German club, the friendly club, will be a setback that will set the process back. More or less the same thing happens with the player with whom the deal is already going well.
Real Madrid had to fight against amazing offers from City and Liverpool, which offered the player much more than the white club.
And sources from Real Madrid confirmed at the beginning of the year, “If it was a matter of money, he would not come to Madrid,” which did a great field work with the player, which made him see that the Real Madrid sports project is very good.
Although the deal is not finalized yet, the roadmap on Madrid’s mind is for the club to be able to announce his signing next month. The white team does not want to take too long on a deal that was very expensive and will undoubtedly be the main one for the next season.
