Borussia Dortmund are beginning to go frustrated over the entire Jude Bellingham transfer story. The 19-year-old midfielder, who ends his contract with Dortmund in 2025, is being chased by Real Madrid and Manchester City and the player has not made a decision over his future.
So if a report from journalist Christian Falk is to be believed, the German team has offered their young midfielder a new contract wherein they have inserted a release clause worth €150 million.
As the uncertainty regarding his future continues to grow, Dortmund’s sporting director and Bellingham’s father, Mark, are in talks over an extension.
It was not too long ago when we reported
During the discussion about the length of the contract, Real Madrid also put forward the plan to explain to him how they tend to use his services in the future. During the same time, his representatives visited the club’s Valdebebas training facilities and also dined with Real Madrid officials.
Real Madrid are keen to close this deal by May and make it official by June right after the UEFA Champions League final. The reason to rush into making this decision is the presence of Manchester City.
The Premier League champions-elect have been Madrid’s biggest foe in the entire deal, but fortunately for the record European champions, the midfielder has reportedly chosen them over the Cityzens.
But Dortmund are unaware of any such developments and are trying their best to keep him around beyond this season.
If he does end up signing an extension with Dortmund, things will get interesting due to the presence of the clause. In that case, there will be no bidding war as whoever activates it will get the midfielder. But of course, the player will have his say in it.
