This news was announced today by the reliable journalist of "Athletic", David Ornstein, who claims that Liverpool have come to terms with the fact that they do not have the financial power of some clubs and are slowly withdrawing from this race.

This information was soon conveyed by the Madrid media, which reports that all roads lead to Real. It's no secret that Bellingham is "obsessed" with the idea of ​​playing for Real Madrid, although he wanted to follow the advice of his family so that he could also go to Liverpool and have time to reach the "royal" club later.

But the chances of such a scenario happening are slim. Ornstein singles out Real Madrid as one of the main ones in this race, but he doesn't rule them out either Manchester City. He claims that only Real and City have the financial power to satisfy the taste of Borussia Dortmund, who will not let him go below 130-140 million euros, but also to give Bellingham a suitable project and a salary in accordance with his market value.
