However, Real Madrid are not willing to pay that amount for the young star and have set a particular fee they are willing to shell out for the midfielder, who still has one more year on his current Dortmund deal.

Bellingham's current contract runs until the end of the 2024-25 season, but it has grown increasingly likely that he is on his way out of Signal Iduna Park.

Bellingham urged to snub Liverpool

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand believes Borussia Dortmund star, Bellingham should have Real Madrid at the 'top of his list' ahead of a potential transfer this summer, Football365 reports.

The former Manchester United defender does not believe Liverpool is the best place for the 19-year-old midfielder going by the Reds' stumbling form this season.

Bellingham joined Dortmund from his boyhood club, Birmingham City in July 2020 for around £20 million but has seen his value increase tremendously in the last two years.

The 19-year-old midfielder came off the bench to help propel Borussia Dortmund to an emphatic 4-1 over Hertha Berlin to keep their league title hopes alive.

At 19 years and 235 days old, Bellingham overtook Bayern Munich youngster, Jamal Musiala, who previously held the record at 19 years and 255 days.
