Harry Kane is Real Madrid’s priority
Rodrigo Fáez confirms that the club chaired by Florentino Pérez has its sights set on the Tottenham striker. How much money would it cost to sign him?
Borussia Dortmund confirmed the agreement for the transfer of Bellingham to Real Madrid on its official website, where it explains that it will sign with a variable for objectives in the next six seasons of a maximum of 30% of the transfer price.
For a few weeks Real Madrid had the ok for the 19-year-old player and now they are taking the final step for the English international to become one of the signings of the summer market.
Real Madrid thus prevails over Manchester City (and previously Liverpool) in the race to gain the services of a footballer considered one of the great promises of European football.
Sources from Real Madrid tell ESPN that the operation is one of the “most delicate” that they have carried out in recent times due to the great competition that existed to get their contract.
In fact, as ESPN has been reporting, the race to get his signing was a roller coaster because Liverpool was initially the favorite to get his signing and a few months ago from City they came to take it almost for granted that they They would take the award as they did last summer with Erling Haaland.
But ESPN reported last month that Real Madrid had turned the tables and was so convinced of winning the race that representatives from the white club traveled to Germany to start face-to-face talks with Dortmund.
These conversations have been positive and it is expected that in the coming days Madrid will make the signing of the English international official.
Sources tell ESPN that the player’s preference to wear white has been key in the operation. With this signing, the whites seek, on the one hand, to strengthen themselves for LaLiga, where this year they finished second behind Barcelona and, second, to improve physically following being eliminated by City in the Champions League semifinals.
From the club they admit to ESPN that the signing of Jude Bellingham is strategic because Florentino Pérez considers that English is the missing piece for the Madrid midfield to mark an era together with Eduardo Camavinga – signed in 2021 – and Aurélien Tchouaméni – signed in 2022 -.
Bellingham joined Dortmund from Birmingham City in July 2020.
After three years in Germany, he has become one of the best players in the Bundesliga, making 31 league appearances this season and scoring eight goals, even captaining the team.
In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar he started with England in the five games he played.
Real Madrid has followed a policy of signing emerging talent in recent years, with Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo Goes, Federico Valverde and Camavinga.
Bellingham will not be the last arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu this summer, as Real Madrid are also looking to bolster the squad in various positions, including signing a replacement for striker Karim Benzema, who joined Saudi side Al Ittihad this month.
In this sense, ESPN has already reported that Harry Kane is the favorite.
