Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Liverpool are all involved in a race to sign the Birmingham-born Englishman, and they are willing to break the bank to do so.
Prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Bellingham was fully committed to his national team duties and halted transfer talks with Borussia Dortmund.

Considering that the winter transfer window is now open, and Dortmund is not performing particularly well in the ongoing UEFA Champions League, the youngster is prepared to take the next step in his career.
Previously linked with Liverpool, the ex-Birmingham City player has a strong desire to play at Anfield. However, with Real Madrid and Manchester City reportedly interested in him, a rushed decision would be inappropriate from the player’s perspective.
Liverpool, Real Madrid and Man City await Jude Bellingham decision.

Borussia Dortmund is adamant that they will accept nothing less than $120 million for the England midfielder, and after his performance in Qatar, they have every reason to be optimistic.
When considering the current transfer budget and Bellingham’s performance across all the competitions he participated in, any deal around $100 million is worth every penny.
Liverpool has always preferred him, he is Real Madrid’s No. 1 target, and they’re willing to pay over £100 million for him, whereas Man City finding their future midfielder on him. Combining all the facts, it is an absolutely bonkers scene.
Who will get the hand of the gold will be known in a span of few days, but Borussia Dortmund must be looking forward to banking big on him.
