Real Madrid have boasted of one of the best midfields in the world over the last decade or so, with Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, and Casemiro at the helm. Further, they learnt from the mistakes of their arch-rivals Barcelona, and have already started to revamp the centre of the park with the young reinforcements.

Los Blancos already have the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Federico Valverde on their roster, but do not want to stop anytime soon. They have been eyeing a move for English wonderkid Jude Bellingham.

They have, however, received a blow in their pursuit of the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Liverpool have already begun talks with the player.

Further, the reliable journalist also claims that Chelsea and Manchester City are also in race for the player, and nothing has been finalised yet.

The player is expected to stay at Dortmund through the winter, with his price tag reaching nearly €120 million in the summer.

Real Madrid have been planning for this transfer for months, now, alongside Liverpool, and will not give up easily.

That said, they realise the competition for his signature will be extremely tough, and as such, they have prepared a four-man backup shortlist.

These four players on their radar are Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio, Enzo Fernandez of SL Benfica and Lovro Majer of Rennes.

Bellingham will likely not contemplate his future before the World Cup, and the way he has started the tournament, his stocks will only increase from here on.
