Real Madrid will look to make their biggest move yet in their race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

According to the Spanish publication Marca, Los Blancos has been working on his transfer for the past ten months. To tilt the odds in their favour, they would take a step further and travel to Germany to convince Bellingham to join them in the summer.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side implemented the same strategy to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco when the Frenchman was chased by Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool. But, despite the odds, Madrid won the favour of the Frenchman by travelling to the Principality Stadium and presenting their sporting project. As a result, the 23-year-old was convinced and turned down heavier pay packets in favour of signing for Real Madrid jersey.

As per the report, Madrid have direct contact with Bellingham’s entourage, and they even held discussions with the player’s father last month. 

Despite their charm offensive, it is reported that the Santiago Bernabeu side does not want to meet the €150 million price tag from Dortmund and are willing to offer Brahim Diaz on loan at AC Milan as part of a potential transfer in a bid to reduce the asking price.
