Premier League sides are also keen on Borussia Dortmund's England midfielder

Jude Bellingham will be in demand next summer and could be the subject of the next Real Madrid transfer saga.

The England midfielder, 19, is Madrid's top target to strengthen in midfield, but it won't be easy to beat Premier League clubs to his signing.

The Borussia Dortmund player has a market value of €80 million, per Transfermarkt, but his final price could be closer to €150m.

According to the German press, that's how much the German side will demand, but Madrid could only go as high as €110m, per CBS.

Bellingham will turn 20 next summer and will have played over 150 senior games across his time at Birmingham City and Dortmund.

Jude's decision

Madrid have been following Bellingham for three years, but it was only last year that they really stepped up their interest with the intention of signing him.

They have asked him not to renew his contract with Dortmund, which runs until 2025, so that his price won't rise further, according to Marca. So far, he has fulfilled that request.

Liverpool and Manchester United are also keen on Bellingham, but Madrid hope their relationship with Dortmund could help them win the race.
