According to Spanish news outlet Sport, Real Madrid are not willing to meet Borussia Dortmund’s £130million valuation of Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid’s unwillingness to pay Bellingham’s valuation has given a huge boost to Chelsea’s hopes of signing the England international.

Bellingham is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer and is also attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Real Madrid are keen on signing Bellingham and have made the midfielder their priority target for next summer but are refusing to pay the fee Borussia Dortmund is demanding.

PSG and Bayern Munich have also shown interest in Bellingham, but it was previously reported that he would prefer a move to Real Madrid or the Premier League. 

Bellingham has already produced nine goals and picked up a further three assists in all competitions for Dortmund so far this campaign.

In total, he has made 109 appearances for Dortmund after moving to Germany for £25million from Birmingham in 2020.
