Real Madrid agree deal to sign England prodigy Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham will join La Liga giants Real Madrid after both clubs agreed a €103 million deal for the transfer of the England international to Spain’s capital.
Football journalist Fabrizio Romano said both clubs had signed all the necessary paperwork, and the 19-year-old has already signed a six-year contract which will keep him at Santiago Bernabeu until at least 2026.
Bellingham played 132 times for the Black and Yellow after joining the German club in the summer of 2020. He scored 24 goals in total and won the DFB-Pokal in his first season with Dortmund.
The transfer is subject to an imminent official announcement by Los Blancos.
In the other transfer news, Portuguese defender Raphäel Guerreiro has also left Borussia Dortmund to join the Black and Yellow’s Bundesliga arch-rival Bayern Munich on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old is scheduled to undergo medical tests with the Bavarians soon and will put pen to paper on a three-year deal before an official announcement by the German champions.
Meanwhile, Dortmund are advancing to sign Edon Alvarez from Ajax. Negotiations continued between the clubs as the Black and Yellow are keen on the Mexican midfielder to replace Bellingham.
Also, after announcing the signing of Lionel Messi, Inter Miami are considering a move to sign Messi’s national teammate Angel Di Maria on a free transfer after his contract with Juventus expired. The MLS outfit are also keen to bring another former Messi teammate to the club.
Inter Miami are keen to sign Sergio Busquets for free after his contract expired at Camp Nou. But the Spain international’s priority remains Europe, with Portuguese giants Benfica monitoring the situation.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are preparing to launch an official bid to sign midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea. The England international is pushing for a move to Old Trafford.
