Transfer Guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that there will be a tight race by clubs for the signature of Jude Bellingham next summer.
There are rumors that Borussia Dortmund had placed £130 million on the 19-year-old.
The likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United have all shown interest in the England Youngster. There were reports last week that Real Madrid had an upper hand over the other clubs in pursuing Jude Bellingham.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Borussia Dortmund will reveal their final price for Jude Bellingham after the World Cup. He added that his performance at the World Cup would influence their final asking price for the 19-year-old.
However, He expects a bidding war between Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
What did Fabrizio Romano say?
He revealed on his YouTube channel, saying; “This is going to be the new kind of Erling Haaland race with many clubs involved, and crazy months of rumors about Jude Bellingham.
“But it’s very important to understand one point—Borussia Dortmund is not negotiating with any club at the moment. There are no talks ongoing.
“Dortmund will make their final price after the World Cup. There is no official clause included in Bellingham’s contract, so they can make the price, and they will discuss it after the World Cup because the performance of Bellingham at the World Cup could influence the price tag.
“All the top European giants will be there. Some of them have already started contact, and some of them are waiting to enter the race, but let’s mention some clubs.
“Liverpool will be there. They wanted Tchouameni earlier this year, but it was impossible to change his mind and he wanted Real Madrid, so for Liverpool the priority next summer is to sign a new midfielder and they saved money during the summer by signing Arthur Melo on loan, so Bellingham will be a priority.
“Man City will also be there. They will go for a new midfielder next summer and Bellingham is highly rated.
“Manchester United are always thinking of Bellingham. They know they are not in an easy position, but they will try to explore this opportunity.
“We know how strong Chelsea are from a financial point of view, and they are thinking of a new midfielder next summer. They wanted Frenkie de Jong this summer and next summer there is the situation of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho’s contracts, so they go for a new midfielder and Bellingham is attracting interest.
“And then, Real Madrid—not just English clubs—they sold Casemiro to Manchester United at the end of the summer transfer window, and next summer, it could be the case to go for a new midfielder.
“Even if they signed Tchouameni and have Camavinga, fantastic players for the future, they also have players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos who are on short contracts, so this is why Bellingham is also on Real Madrid’s list and everything is absolutely open.
“So there will be many clubs in the race, but the player has no agreement with any club yet, so everything is in discussion and everything will take time.
“Bellingham is not deciding now, or this week, or next week. All these clubs will be there.
“And Borussia Dortmund will for sure try to do their business early again, not at the end of July or August. They will try to hold discussions around April, May, and June.”
