Real will finalize the deal for Bellingham next week

Spain's Real Madrid are close to securing the services of midfielder Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund after months of interest, Marca newspaper reports, adding that the club will finalize a deal for the player next week.

Real's management will wait for the outcome in the Bundesliga this Saturday to respect the battle for the title in Germany, which is being led by Borussia. The Dortmund side lead by 2 points over Bayern (Munich) at the top of the provisional standings and need a win to secure the trophy.

Thus, next week, the giant from Madrid must sit at the negotiating table for Bellingham, with whom his personal terms have already been agreed. The final hurdle is the transfer fee to satisfy Borussia (Dortmund) bosses. The starting price for the midfielder's signature is 100 million euros.
