Paul Scholes has placed Real Madrid at the front of the queue to sign Jude Bellingham this summer, with Manchester United not too far behind. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a big move for a while now as he continues to impress for Borussia Dortmund.
Bellingham, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from Chelsea, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the midfielder during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City but, after failing to act on their interest, the German side swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
The Blues have been left to rue their decision to not sign Bellingham when they had the chance, and now he's arguably the most coveted young player in Europe. According to The Times, Liverpool have cooled their interest in Bellingham with his eye-watering price tag proving to be an issue.
