Chelsea have suffered a minor setback in their transfer race against a number of top European clubs for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old is wanted by several Premier League teams as well as Chelsea while Spanish giants Real Madrid are also among those hoping to acquire his services.
The future of the 19-year-old is the talk of the transfer world with his stellar performances in Germany seemingly increasing his price tag by the hour and the recent reports of what it will take for Dortmund to part ways with Bellingham, may have seen the interest from one team lessen.
According to Spanish news outlet Sport, Real Madrid are not prepared to meet the German side's valuation of Bellingham, which currently stands at an eye-watering £130million. This could leave the door open for Graham Potter as he looks to stamp his philosophy at Chelsea.
