Liverpool were also interested in signing the England international but now look set to miss out along with Manchester City who also had an eye on the young prodigy.
Real Madrid missed out on the signing of Erling Haaland to rivals Manchester City but this time they want to make sure they can still attract the world’s best players.
The signing of Jude Bellingham will no doubt be a landmark signing for the Galacticos who currently lie 2nd in La Liga behind rivals Barcelona.
