Real Madrid want to sign Jude Bellingham this summer but will not be drawn into a bidding war after Manchester United were urged to enter the race for the England international.
Madrid have emerged as the frontrunner for the signature of the Borussia Dortmund ace and the Spanish giants went so far as to hold a transfer meeting with Bellingham’s father Mark in London ahead of Dortmund’s Champions League clash at Chelsea earlier this month.
Juni Calafat, director of international football for the European champions, met the player’s father at the Chelsea Harbour hotel to discuss the club’s position. Yet the race for Bellingham remains wide open and his future beyond this summer is uncertain.
