Despite being their top transfer target, Madrid are not keen to fork out that much money for Bellingham. The news will boost clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

The four English clubs were also said to be interested in signing the youngster. European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also said to be interested, but Bellingham prefers a move to La Liga or the English Premier League.

Bellingham’s contract with Dortmund is only set to expire in 2025, meaning that the German side are not under any pressure to sell him.

As noted by Transfermakrt, Bellingham has played 112 games for the team, scored 19 goals, and provided 21 assists. He is also currently one of the club’s captains.
