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?
MADRID — The Real Madrid reached an agreement with the Borussia Dortmund to record the Jude Bellingham for a figure close to 110 million dollars plus a variable for objectives.
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 imposes itself on Manchester City (and prior to 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 already 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 of the white club they 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 LaLigawhere this year they finished second behind the Barcelona and, second, to improve physically after 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 Aurelien Tchouameni – 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 Bundesligaplaying 31 league games this season and scoring eight goals, even being team captain.
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 talents in recent years, with Vinicius JuniorRodrygo Goes, Federico Valverde y Camavinga.
Bellingham will not be the last arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu this summer, as Real Madrid are also looking to strengthen the squad in various positions, including the signing of a replacement for the striker. Karim Benzemawho signed this month for Saudi side Al Ittihad.
In this sense, ESPN has already reported that Harry Kane is the favourite.
