Madrid and Dortmund agree on no pressure on Bellingham

Jude Bellingham is set to make headlines in the transfer market, which begins in the middle of the year. Real Madrid, for example, are ready to make a big financial effort to sign the 19-year-old English midfielder for next season.
Borussia Dortmund, however, will not facilitate his departure. The German side are hoping to earn more than 100 million euros for their star player, although the board are keen for the young midfielder to renew his contract with the club for several more years.
The 'Merengues', for their part, know that they will have to fight an important battle in order to secure Bellingham's transfer. Major clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester City, for example, are also interested in his services for next season.
The board headed by Florentino Pérez, aware of the situation, decided to tackle the issue and, in the last few hours, has reached a first agreement with Borussia Dortmund, as reported by 'Cadena SER' on Thursday.
Despite interest from Premier League clubs, Madrid have agreed with Borussia Dortmund not to approach the player and not to force a response until the German side secure their place in next season's Champions League.
Thanks to this agreement, the white team will give a breath of fresh air to the German team with the aim of not generating complications in negotiations and, at the same time, having a certain priority when it comes to sitting down to talk about the midfielder's services in the near future.
Borussia Dortmund are leading the Bundesliga and the sporting management warned that they need the player to be 100% focused on the German team's objectives until the end of the season. For this reason, the Madrid side agreed to the request and will not put any pressure on the player.
