it's based off the Sun, so take it with a huge grain of salt

the only reason I post the article below is because with Gvardiol not in play until 2024, and Mbappe and Håland locked up for now, Real will be looking for the next superstar signing quite possibly, and Bellingham is that

Premier League giants Liverpool, Man City, and Chelsea receive Jude Bellingham blow

https://www.livesoccertv.com/news/459264/premier-league-giants-liverpool-man-city-and-Chelsea-receive-huge-jude-bellingham-blow/

The Three Lions sensation is set to leave Dortmund this summer, but a return to England might not be his next destination.

Jude Bellingham is the hottest young player in the transfer window, with Europe's biggest clubs all competing to sign the highly-rated Englishman. The Dortmund ace was one of the standout players at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and as a result, a major summer move looks to be on the horizon.

A battle is underway to lure the 19-year-old from the Signal Iduna Park. Four Premier League giants are keen on landing the former Birmingham starlet and they are Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United, with the Reds and the Cityzens leading the pack. PSG, meanwhile, are also following the midfielder.

However, according to the Sun, the English clubs no longer hold the advantage in this transfer saga. The British tabloid report that Real Madrid are now currently leading the race and are confident of signing the Bundesliga sensation, who will likely cost over £100M ($121M).

Los Blancos have already racked up a pool of young but exceptionally talented midfielders. The Spanish giants landed Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni over the last two summer transfer windows, joining Uruguayan ace Federico Valverde at the Bernabeu.

The initial consensus was that Liverpool were leading the pack, with Jurgen Klopp identifying Jude as the man to rejuvenate Anfield. Throughout Qatar 2022, the midfielder could be seen alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson, thus further backing the claim.

However, Ancelotti's side are confident after "courting him throughout 2022". One important factor must be stated: while Bellingham will command an exuberant transfer fee and wage package, money isn't the deciding factor here.

The Three Lions ace will not join the club that pays him the most but is rather focused on the best step for his career. As a result, Los Merengues believe that the opportunity to become a household Real Madrid player will be irresistible,

Liverpool have done tremendous work already to sell their project. Manchester City, meanwhile, have the money, the silverware, and Bellingham's former teammate Erling Haaland to entice Jude. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are the champions of Europe and will look to ruin the party for the two aforementioned Premier League heavyweights.

Isco's contract was terminated

It’s like we got all of our “now” signings out of the way in Todd’s first transfer window over the summer and now we’re going bananas on teenagers that won’t be first team candidates for years, if ever.

I’m not mad at this approach, but hope there will still be additional quality that goes directly into the first team soon. If we can pull off the improbably and get Leão to add to Nkunku who is already done then we’ll have a massively improved attack heading into next season. Pulisic and Ziyech out, Leão and Nkunku in. Sterling, Havertz, Leão, and Nkunku as fluid attackers interchanging positions would be great.

Problem is all of those signings were busts. Kk, sterling, auba, fofana are all shit. Only moderately decent one was cucu. Boehly fucked us for years to come by putting all these guys on massive contracts. No wonder we're signing youngsters because we have no space on the wage bill for actual players.

Idk why tuchel was made in charge of transfer targets especially if boehly was thinking of getting rid of him cause he can't play 443 and didnt want ronaldo. We should've made 1 or two smart signings and acted like we did during the transfer ban, promoting youngsters like colwill and Hall and only signing players where we had no other option.

Broja should've been first choice this season (not saying he's good enough or isnt) just because auba sucks. Sterling shouldn't have been signed cause we basically helped City make their money back for haaland. These two transfers especially will kick us in the ass for 2-3 year and I will keep reminding you guys when they are both sitting on 200 and 300k on the bench by next year if not sooner.

Simple rundown

We overpaid by at least £25m for CuCu

then

bad (likely the players will not be successful, or at least look that way atm) expensive buys

Fofana (likely a poor buy at the end of the day, let us all hope not, but I have major doubts)

Sterling (super disappointing so far)

KK meh

Auba meh meh

then

Zakaria loan, I have no issue with, but ffs, play him more

then

the 2 good buys listed

Carney

Slonina

I mean Mendy can ask for how much he wants as it's his right, whether we agree is a different matter. I'm more concerned about us offering 6 years tbh. Why on earth would we do something like that?

Another player who delivers once in a blue moon and wants to take us for ransom. I really hope we get rid of all of these guys starting with Mendy and Mount both whom aren't good enough but feel the need to be paid like kings. The owner reportedly wanting to extend him for 6 years deprives me of any hope for the foresaw future of us getting back to the top anytime soon.

I highly doubt the club offered a 30 year goalkeeper who isn't even first choice under Potter a 6 year contract.  Seems like something his agent would say just to show Mendy's value in the market. 

Best case scenario, we get a decent offer from a French club (maybe we can get Monaco interested as Nubel will likely be at Bayern in the near future) and let him go.

I mean Slonina is a future #1 Goalkeeper, how about we actually let him develop like we did with Courtois? 
Also Zakaria is a loan spell, he's likely going back to Juventus at the end of the season.
