Man United set to go all-out for Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham

Manchester United are reportedly set to go all-out to secure the signature of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, according to reports from Spain.

United are prepared to bid in excess of €120 million for the English international, according to the Spanish publication Fichajes, while adding that Los Blancos are unlikely to allow such a transfer anytime soon.

Bellingham has been one of the top midfielders in world football in his position since his early move to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

The 22-year-old has consistently proven to be the real deal since his significant move to the Santiago Bernabéu, and it is by no means out of place for the Red Devils to be contemplating such an audacious switch to Old Trafford this summer.

Bellingham’s link to United has caught attention in the past, with BBC Sport reporting on them giving the player a tour of their training ground when he was still a youngster.

Since then, the midfield superstar has continued to improve and has the qualities to make an impact at Old Trafford, though his form has also taken a slight dip this term, partly due to injuries.

Bellingham signed a six-year contract with Real Madrid in June 2023, which keeps him at the club until June 2029. Since joining the La Liga giants, Bellingham has made 97 appearances, scoring 38 goals and providing 28 assists across all competitions.

The Premier League giants could pay in excess of €120 million for the Englishman, but there would also be his high wages to take into account, while they also look over their shoulders, staring at the sight of stiffer Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Rumours of club captain Bruno Fernandes being linked with a move away to the Saudi Arabian League still linger, and may not diminish anytime soon.

This put United in a depleted situation in that area of the midfield, with Casemiro having already announced his departure from the club at the end of this season.

Links with Bellingham are only right at this time; however, it will take quite a significant fee to convince the 15-time Champions League winners to let go of one of their star men at the club – let’s see how this situation unfolds in the future.
