Jude Bellingham would prefer to join Real Madrid rather than Liverpool, according to reports, in news which comes as a crushing blow for Jurgen Klopp.
The Borussia Dortmund sensation is at the centre of an intense three-way transfer battle as Los Blancos, the Reds and Manchester City tussle for his signature next summer. Each of the European heavyweights believe they are the most attractive destination for Bellingham, with City certain he would like to work with Pep Guardiola.
Mirror Football reported in mid-December that Anfield chiefs are similarly confident they can come out on top, but Real Madrid harbour growing hopes of their own. In a promising update for the Santiago Bernabeu hierarchy, Bellingham has told his inner circle that he would like to join the Spanish giants.
