Real Madrid will increase their interest in Jude Bellingham in January but are refusing to pay a crazy fee for the England star.
The ‘Kings’ will battle with Liverpool for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, following his excellent performances at the World Cup.
ESPN” claims Real are ready to make a move and value Bellingham at around €100 million, a figure they say they won’t exceed.
Carlo Ancelotti is looking to freshen up his midfield with Luka Modric, 37, and Toni Kroos, who turns 33 next week, both heading towards the end of their careers.
He secured the services of French star Aurelien Tchouameni last summer and also has young talents Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde in his ranks.
Real have spoken about their project with Bellingham, but Liverpool are determined to offer stiff competition as they falter in the midfield department.
Jurgen Klopp is aware of the need for a new player in midfield and Bellingham’s performances in Qatar proved he is ready to handle the pressure of playing at the highest level.
