It’s also claimed by Romano that Real Madrid have scheduled a new meeting with the Bundesliga club to fully finalize an agreement for the midfielder’s transfer very soon.
What Can Bellingham Bring to La Liga Giants?
The Englishman is one of the most exciting young footballers in Europe right now, having transcended to greater heights at Dortmund. At the age of just 19, he has already captained the German side and played a major role in helping them compete in the Bundesliga title race this season – having scored five goals and provided as many assists in 29 league appearances in this campaign.

The England international is a hard-working, explosive midfielder who can excel in many different positions. He’s likely to play a more advanced, creative midfield role for Real Madrid if he joins, helping dictate their moves in the opposition half and create chances. Moreover, he can also add another goal-scoring outlet for Los Blancos and more unpredictability to their front line. Bellingham, described as ‘Exceptional’ by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, has also already been cappred 24 times by England – scoring one goal.
