Liverpool leading Real Madrid in the race to sign Bundesliga star

Liverpool lead the race to sign Jude Bellingham amid Real Madrid interest

Liverpool FC’s pursuit of Jude Bellingham is no surprise because of the young Englishman’s impressive performances for Borussia Dortmund since 2020. However, the competition from Real Madrid has made the race to sign him even more intense.

Despite this, recent reports from Marca (h/t Liverpool Echo) suggest that Liverpool is leading the race and that Los Blancos may struggle to keep up with the potential bidding war for the 19-year-old star player.

Even though the former Birmingham City man is out of contract at Die Schwarzbelgen

only in 2025 (Transfermarkt), there seems to be a growing understanding of his future in the media and many sections expect him to depart the club in the summer.

The addition of Bellingham to the Liverpool squad would be a significant boost, especially in the midfield area. Liverpool’s current midfielders, such as Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Thiago Alcantara, are all in their 30s and are approaching the business end of their careers.

Is Bellingham to the Reds more likely now?

Therefore, it is essential that Liverpool start planning for the future by bringing in a young, dynamic midfielder like Jude, who could become a mainstay of the team for years to come. Bellingham is a versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of positions.

He has a great engine and work rate and is also comfortable on the ball. He possesses the physicality and technical ability to excel in the Premier League, which makes him just the perfect fit for Liverpool.

While Real Madrid may have the financial muscle to compete with Liverpool, it seems that the Reds are in pole position to secure Bellingham’s signature. If the Reds can land Jude, it would be a statement of intent and would further enhance their chances of winning more silverware in the future.
