He would sign for six years and would be one of the highest paid players on the side. The main stumbling block in the negotiations is the financial claims of Borussia Dortmund, which is expected to raise around 140 million euros for Bellingham. However, Real Madrid does not want to reach those figures and hopes to reduce the amount to a maximum of 120 million euros. The good relationship maintained by both entities could facilitate the deal and lead to what would become one of the star signings of the summer.

With the arrival of Bellingham, Real Madrid would have their backs in the process of revamping the legendary midfield made up of Casemiro, Modric and Kroos, decisive in the last five Champions League wins by the Chamartín side. A regeneration that began with the arrival in 2021 of Eduardo Camavinga (20 years old) and continued last summer with the landing of Aurélien Tchouaméni (23 years old).
