Bellingham who has been on Real Madrid’s radar since before the 2022 FIFA World Cup is worth about a €100 million while Gvardiol has a release clause of a €112million that does not become active until 2024.

Both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are keen on parting ways with their respective stars this summer. For the right price, a deal can be struck with Real Madrid.

Man United ready to battle for Bellingham

Meanwhile, Manchester United is ready to join the bidding for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham, with the transfer fee set at a minimum of £110 million, The Telegraph reports.

The fee for the 19-year-old would be a British record, surpassing the £100 million paid by Manchester City for Jack Grealish, with negotiations over Bellingham's future finally beginning to heat up.

Man City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid are all interested in Bellingham, with Man United now registering their interest and Chelsea are not ruling out making an offer for the midfielder.
