  • Jude Bellingham scored a beautiful, albeit unusual, goal for Dortmund vs Wolfsburg on Sunday
  • The England midfielder is reportedly willing to join Real Madrid in the summer
  • The Dortmund star is poised to leave the Bundesliga side in a mega-money move

Jude Bellingham has recorded a number of noteworthy goals and assists over the course of his three years at Borussia Dortmund.

But the 19-year-old's most recent attempt—one of the two he scored in Dortmund's 6-0 Bundesliga thrashing of Wolfsburg—had more than a whiff of luck about it.

The England international seems to be nearing a lucrative summer transfer to Real Madrid, the Sun reports.

Carlo Ancelotti's side appear to have defeated Manchester City and Liverpool in their pursuit of the central midfielder.

But Bellingham has unfinished business with Dortmund this season, as the Yellow and Black are locked in a close race with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title.

And on Sunday, Dortmund were victorious over Wolfsburg at the Signal Iduna Park, thanks to Bellingham's long-range goal that made it 4-0 and his second making it six late on.

Bellingham's first goal came in somewhat fortunate circumstances; after beating adefender, he cut in from the right flank and shot with his left foot, only for the ball to smash hit the crossbar via the goalkeeper and then spin back into the net.

When his teammates surrounded him to celebrate, Bellingham grinned wryly while Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels held his head in his hands.

Other scorers were Sebastien Haller, Donyell Malen, and a brace from Karim Adeyemi helped Dortmund to an emphatic victory.

'Bellingham should stay at Dortmund'

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Borussia Dortmund legend, Stefan Effenberg stating Bellingham should stay in the Bundesliga for another season so he can grow as a player if he stays with Borussia Dortmund for another season.

The highly-rated midfielder has been constantly linked with a move away from the German side, with Real Madrid and Liverpool said to be the frontrunners for his signature.

However, Dortmund are keen to keep hold of their star player and Effenberg believes it would be in Bellingham's best interests to remain with the side for one more term.
