Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign former Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham in the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old, who left Blues in 2020 for a fee of £25 million, is set for a Madrid medical in the coming days, according to a reputable report.

Bellingham has enjoyed three very successful campaigns with Dortmund, scoring 24 goals and assisting 25 in 132 appearances.
Now, though, he’s set to become the latest ‘Galactico’ signing at The Bernabeu and will help out his boyhood club, Birmingham, in the process.
This is due to a sell-on clause that was included in the deal that brought Bellingham to Germany.

This means if he does indeed leave for in excess of £86 million, at least £4.3 million of that heading to the kitty at St Andrew’s.
If that is indeed the case, that’ll help Blues out massively as the club have recorded tens of millions of pounds in losses over recent years.
