Real Madrid receive €150m Jude Bellingham offer
Manchester United have submitted a €150 million offer for Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, according to a sensational report in Spain.
Ruben Amorim’s side are expected to sign at least one new central midfielder next year and they have now speculatively added Bellingham to their transfer wishlist.
That is according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, who claim that Man Utd have even lodged an opening bid worth €150m for the England international ahead of the January transfer window.
The Red Devils want to make Bellingham “the face of their new sporting project” and they are eager to finalise a blockbuster deal to bring him to Old Trafford in 2026.
However, Real Madrid have reportedly insisted that Bellingham is not for sale at any price and they are unwilling to entertain exit talks.
Despite this, Fichajes state that Man Utd could return with an improved offer of €180m as they look to finally bring the 22-year-old to the club after failing to finalise a transfer during his time at Birmingham City.
Bellingham, whose Estimated Transfer Value of €110.3m is the 15th-highest of any player in the world, still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract at Real Madrid and although Man Utd reportedly want to agree a transfer, it feels as though a deal is incredibly unlikely.
Man Utd target a new midfielder
While Man Utd have added Bellingham to their transfer radar ahead of 2026, they are set to prioritise a move for Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson or Adam Wharton instead.
All three Premier League midfielders have been heavily linked with an Old Trafford switch in recent months and it’s widely expected that at least one of them will become a Man Utd player before the end of next year.
A move for Baleba appears to be the most likely as things stand, given Brighton & Hove Albion have lowered their asking price to €85m, although contrasting reports suggest that Anderson and Wharton are now considered to be higher priorities.
