The race to sign Bellingham is hotting up ahead of the summer transfer window. Although Real Madrid is intensifying its chase of the 19-year-old Dortmund midfielder, Liverpool has long been seen as the favorite to recruit him. According to Foot Mercato, Real Madrid representatives met with the midfielder's agency and father on Tuesday.

The 'tribe' of Jude Bellingham reportedly met with the Merengues in London prior to Chelsea's match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The meeting was held "at the Chelsea Harbor hotel in London" before Dortmund's match against Graham Potter's team in the Champions League round of 16 at Stamford Bridge. According to reports, Real Madrid director Juni Calafat has been assigned to present the concept to the England international.

Since that the Spanish giants are unsure of what will happen to Kroos and Modric after this season, this new "offensive" is believed to "make sense," and Bellingham may join Camavinga and Tchouameni in a new midfield three.
