According to multiple Spanish media reports this morning, Real Madrid are leading the race for Jude Bellingham going into 2023.
Bellingham is set to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer after three outstanding season's in the Bundesliga. Brought further into the spotlight during England's World Cup campaign, the 19-year-old will likely have his pick of Europe's elite clubs, but it is Liverpool and Real Madrid who are consistently named as frontrunners due to their long-standing work behind the scenes.
Where the teenager decides to start the next chapter of his career remains to be seen, but reports this morning from Spain suggest Madrid have made Bellingham their absolute priority in the summer. Carlo Ancelotti, much like Jurgen Klopp, is keen to rebalance an ageing midfield of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and the now-departed Casemiro.
