Real Madrid will make Jude Bellingham their priority next summer and hold the advantage of being the midfielder's preferred destination, according to AS.
The Spanish giants have been touted as one of several potential suitors for Bellingham, who continued to shine on the world stage as England beat Senegal 3-0 to progress into the World Cup quarter-finals. Reports from Germany this week have suggested that Borussia Dortmund are preparing to sell their star come the end of the season, but will demand up to €150million.
Whether Madrid can meet that valuation remains to be seen, and Marca reported earlier today that club president Florentino Perez will not enter a bidding war and pay over the odds for the 19-year-old as he looks to stabilise the club's finances. That same report cites Anfield as the most likely destination, with Liverpool thought to be in pole position.
