Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are facing stiff competition from Liverpool and Manchester City as they vie for the signature of talented young midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The 19-year-old England international has risen to prominence in recent months and is the top transfer target for several top clubs this summer.
Real Madrid are looking to build for the future, investing in younger stars like Bellingham to complement their ageing veteran players, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
However, Real fear they may miss out on the talented star, who is reportedly destined for a move to the Premier League.
Reports indicate that Liverpool is in the running, as they hope to bounce back from a difficult weekend loss to Wolves, and secure a spot in European football next season.
Meanwhile, domestic rival Manchester City are also reportedly in the mix, and could offer Bellingham a hefty financial package to join their star-studded roster.
Bellingham, however, has already shown that money is not everything, as he rejected a more lucrative offer from Manchester United for a move to Dortmund in 2020, from Birmingham City.
Despite offers from the biggest clubs in England, the young star has continued to prove his worth on the pitch and has become a crucial player for Dortmund, even earning the captain's armband on several occasions.
With clubs across Europe scrambling to secure Bellingham's signature, the future looks bright for the young England star.
Will he join the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool, or will he choose to continue his rise in Germany?
The transfer saga continues, as the battle for Jude Bellingham's signature heats up.
