Man Utd and Chelsea in Jude Bellingham boost as Real Madrid put transfer operation on ice

REAL MADRID have reportedly put a move for Jude Bellingham on hold which will boost Chelsea and Manchester United.

The two Premier League giants are keen on signing the England international who is believed to have a very bright future in the game.

Liverpool are also believed to be prominent in the race to sign Bellingham, as well as Manchester City.

But Los Blancos have now cooled their interest in the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, according to AS.

The report claims that the stop in interest is because of the delay to Dortmund’s meeting to establish what Bellingham’s future would be.

The 19-year-old has a contract at the Signal Iduna Park running until 2025 and the Bundesliga side value him at over £100million.

It has been suggested that Madrid would be willing to wait until the summer of 2024 to sign him when he could cost less money, as he would only have a year left on his contract.

However, it looks increasingly unlikely that the England man will still be in Germany by then.

And Bellingham’s Premier League suitors will try to wrap up a deal to sign him this summer.

Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl, however, insists that the former Birmingham prospect is “comfortable” at the club.

He said: “Jude feels very, very comfortable at Borussia Dortmund.

“But we still haven’t had any new talks or received any offers for him.

“He still has two more years on his contract and is a very important piece of this team.

“We need Jude to achieve the objectives this season and we are glad that he is so focused on football and that there is no room for other matters in his head at the moment.”

This season, Bellingham has scored ten goals in 30 appearances in all competitions.
