Real Madrid reach £115m agreement with Borussia Dortmund for Jude Bellingham in huge blow to Man Utd
REAL MADRID have agreed a deal to sign Jude Bellingham, Dortmund have confirmed.
SunSport understands that the 2022 Champions League winners will pay a fee of £115m to bring the England star to the Bernabeu.
The England midfielder is Carlo Ancelotti’s top target this summer.
Borussia Dortmund have finally accepted a bid as one of the summer’s biggest transfers prepares to go through.
They have accepted £88m up front from Real Madrid with another £27m in add-ons.
Bellingham will reportedly undergo a medical in the coming days.
And it ends any hope of long-term suitors Manchester United making a late play.
The move is a huge coup for Madrid, with Bellingham already rated as a world-beater at just 19.
He scored 24 goals in 132 games for Dortmund, winning the German Cup in 2021.
But Bellingham failed to land a title after his side blew their Bundesliga hopes on the final day of the season.
He is now set to be thrust straight into Real’s starting XI, with Luka Modric’s future still in doubt as his contract winds down.
