Close to being a done deal apparently, rumoured to be €100-120 million.

sounds daft but at that money I'm surprised Man City aren't doing all they can to get him

[4midable]

City will go for him too
Madrid or liverpool tho hahaha. Not even worth a toss at anfield

just read a report that said City went for him and even offered him more money but he has decided he wants to play for Madrid

Good. Signing for City would make the PL even less competitive.

[Milltown1882]

That would be their best midfield since the early 2000s Galacticos. He’s an incredible talent.

You can’t say that - Casemiro-Modric-Kroos won 5 champions leagues together. All world class

[NewClaret]

Real shame if we don’t get to see Bellingham in the Premier League.

Jude v Grealish

I would take Grealish every time!

I think I would take Zaroury over Bellingham!

Have your eyes broken!?

Maybe. Zaroury has much promise. Not seen much of B. and not torn up anything in those matches.

Time will tell but if he keeps progressing as he has, and let’s not forget he’s not 20 until June (Zaroury is 22 for comparison), he could become a great.

[TsarBomba]

£100-£120M for a world class CM that has 15-20 years left in the tank is peanuts.

He has to be careful though not to go the way of Michael Owen, and burn out too soon. There was a scathing article recently which was warning of this, after a picture emerged of Bellingham after a Dortmund game with his upper torso and shoulders heavily strapped.

Going to Madrid, for this reason alone, is the right decision.

Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Guti. Unreal midfield.

I swear you’re on the wind up sometimes.

Didn’t win a champions league!

Owen was due to injuries that eventually took his pace away

[Woodleyclaret]

An excellent move for him .

Jesus Christ! I think you'd make the world's worst football scout

[Longsider]

As a club why are we not all over this. Lack of ambition if you ask me.

[DCWat]

There was a strong argument that he’d been played too much, too soon.

It wasn’t an hindsight view either, I well remember the pundits at the time discussing it.

Injuries had their toll but would he have suffered as many injuries had he been used less at such a young age?

[TsarBomba]

Because he was played too much at too young an age.

[jrgbfc]

Glad he's not going to City.

[AfloatinClaret]

Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Guti. Unreal midfield.

I think we all accept how difficult it is to compare players of different eras, but come on... I'll concede that Zidane might've started regularly and maybe a place on the bench for Figo, but that bunch of second raters were playing at around the same time as Elliott/McCann/O'Connor/Joey

[JohnMac]

I wonder what sell on % Birmingham have on him?


They must be in for a windfall.

[LTUK89]

Arguably the most complete footballer in the world. Was always going to Madrid.

[Andreshotboots]

Real shame if we don’t get to see Bellingham in the Premier League.

He's still only a very young man. He could see out every day of a 6 year contract with them then still come back to the Prem in his prime years..that's the scary thing..

[fanzone]

Agreed but he should do it the other way round due to the pace of the leagues.

[NewClaret]

Yes he could but I’d really have preferred to have seen him for (nearly) his whole career rather than just a small part of it. But it’s looking a done deal by all accounts.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Being claimed that his release clause at RM will be €1billion/£875 million.
6yr contract
Also, he will be the clubs second highest earner, behind Hazard.

[Vino blanco]

It’s a shame Shebby Singh isn’t still Global Football Advisor at Blackburn; Bellingham is just the kind of player they would be looking at signing.

[Terrier]

Ouch!
Saying today that he has rejected a move to man city as he does not want to join a plastic club!

[aGoodKompany]

Will dominate the midfield for a decade.
