Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a fee in excess of £86million with Borussia Dortmund to sign Jude Bellingham.

The 19-year-old England star had been widely expected to join Real and The Athletic report that a price has been agreed.

Bellingham was the most coveted target for the summer after stunning displays for both Dortmund and England, with several top European clubs including Manchester City, Chelsea and PSG among those touted with an interest.

Liverpool were previously thought to be front-runners for the Birmingham City academy graduate, but they pulled out of a deal in April  citing escalating costs of the proposed transfer with the Anfield club unwilling to spend so much of their budget on one player. 

Mail Sport revealed last week that Bellingham’s representatives have started inspecting apartments in Madrid ahead of his expected mega-transfer from Dortmund.
