Jude Bellingham’s agent meets with Real Madrid officials as summer move gains steam

The race to sign Bellingham is hotting up ahead of the summer transfer window. While Liverpool have been considered as favourites for some time now, Los Blancos are stepping up their pursuit for the 19-year-old’s signature, with Foot Mercato reporting representatives of Real Madrid met with the agent and father of the Dortmund midfielder on Tuesday.

The Merengues reportedly had a ‘meeting in London’ with the ‘clan’ of Jude Bellingham ahead of Chelsea’s game against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The meeting took place ‘at the Chelsea Harbor hotel in London’ ahead of Dortmund’s Champions League round of 16 second leg against Graham Potter’s side at Stamford Bridge. Real Madrid director Juni Calafat has reportedly been sent to pitch Real Madrid’s project to the England international.
