Real Madrid believe they have 'almost no chance' in the battle with Liverpool for Jude Bellingham.
The 19-year-old midfielder is expected to leave Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund this summer and both of last season's Champions League finalists, who contested another classic on Tuesday evening, are anticipated to lead the chase for his signature.
However, according to The Athletic, 14-time European Cup winners Madrid are pessimistic about their chances of landing Bellingham due to the potential finances of the deal and also their non-urgent stance on bringing midfield reinforcements to the Santiago Bernabeu.
