Jude Bellingham’s blockbuster move to Real Madrid will finally be confirmed next week.
That is according to Spanish outlet Marca, who report that the 19-year-old England youngster has agreed personal terms on a six-year deal with Los Blancos.
Bellingham is fighting to be fit for Borussia Dortmund’s vital final-day showdown with Mainz this afternoon, where victory would seal the club a first Bundesliga title in 11 years.
But while the Stourbridge-born starlet has remained tight-lipped on his future, a deal starting at £87million is thought to have been pre-agreed between Dortmund and Madrid some time ago.
Carlo Ancelotti has been kept in the loop with negotiations throughout and all plans are in place for the Spanish giants to unveil their latest recruit in the coming days.
Marca also suggest the midfield ace, who caught the eye for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions at the Qatar World Cup last winter, had more lucrative financial offers on the table elsewhere.
However, Bellingham is said to have made his desire to join the 14-time European champions clear from an early stage.
Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City had all been previously linked with moves for the teenage sensation.
