It is said that JUDE BELLINGHAM’S agents have started looking at homes in Madrid before he moves from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid.
This week, we told you that the 19-year-old star is almost done completing his move to the LaLiga giants, but that both sides are still negotiating the final fee.
His German team is still demanding £130 million, and it looks like the England player will make his huge move this week or next.
The deal is a huge jump from the £30m Dortmund paid Birmingham three years ago. It includes £105m up front and an extra £25m in add-ons.
Real Madrid first got in touch with Bellingham’s father Mark two years ago, and he is thought to have reached a deal with the Spanish club for a six-year deal.
The star player who used to play for Birmingham City wanted to move to Spain more than Manchester City or even Liverpool, but they pulled their offer because they couldn’t afford him.

Since he moved to Germany when he was 16 to play for Dortmund, Bellingham is already used to living abroad. According to the Daily Mail, “his family have already begun the process of ensuring he will settle in Madrid.”
Before his move is made public in the next few weeks, his “representatives have started inspecting apartments” in the city.
In Spain, it was said that Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, told Carlo Ancelotti, the manager, that his top transfer target was almost secured.
