Madrid have 'stepped up' Jude Bellingham transfer race with figures tabled down revealed
Now things are heating up, as Liverpool and Real Madrid have made it clear they are willing to pay more for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham next summer.
Both sides have the teenager as their top target this summer, but reports from Germany suggest Liverpool are currently favourites.
However, the Reds aren't sure they'll be able to finish in the top four next season, which could pose a problem for a deal.
Madrid are reportedly prepared to pay up to £124m, of which £35m will be paid as add-ons. Ultimately, the decision may come down to where Bellingham wants to play.
