Jude Bellingham, who was brought in by Dortmund in 2020 from Birmingham, has now turned into an extraordinary player. No wonder this
season Bellingham has become a key player for Dortmund by helping Dortmund win the DFB Pokal trophy. Bellingham's outstanding performance
with Dortmund reportedly attracted Liverpool and Real Madrid's interest in buying him from Dortmund. But because Jude Bellingham's contract is
still long with Dortmund until 2025, of course Dortmund is not likely to let Bellingham go with cheap price. According to rumors Dortmund put
a price of 100 million euros if anyone is interested in buying Bellingham, with such a very high price I'm sure Bellingham will not move anywhere.

After all, Liverpool and Real Madrid have each spent a lot of money, to bring in new players in the transfer market this year. So it seems impossible
to spend a very high cost again to be able to recruit Bellingham. After all, with Bellingham being 19 years old, it would be best if he stayed
at Dortmund for another 1-2 years to develop his form. Because at Dortmund Bellingham get quite a lot of playing time, so the development of
his game can improve quickly. It's different if Bellingham moves to a big team this year, chances are he will sit on the bench a lot and only be played
as a substitute.

Who ever buys Bellingham eventually inflates the market and I don't see that as a good deal and business.
That release clause was splashed on him so as to fend of possible suitors ready to bid for him and spend the cash.
He stays with Dortmund and won't leave sooner or later this transfer window market.

That is acutally a pretty good point. I also think it would be a pretty big risk for Bellingham if he would go to one of the top clubs now because, as you say, it is very likely that he won't be in the starting eleven there a lot of times. I personally think though that he would be nominated for the World Cup even if he would not be on the field that much, because it was obvious that Bellingham is a great addition to the english national team when he were subbed in against Germany.
I doubt that Liverpool will want to sign him for the coming season as they have already spent 75 Million € for Nunez already this year, so i doubt that they can pay another 100 M € for Bellingham.

@hahay irrespective of the odds and the rumours I believe that he won’t leave Dortmund in a World Cup year, because if he transfers now and gets limited playing time then he’ll drop out of the World Cup squad, hence I expect that he’ll stay put for this season. However next year I expect many teams to target him, and I wouldn’t be surprised if all top 6 teams in premier league ended up targeting him.

If Liverpool insist on signing Jude Bellingham then this will be the club's most expensive transfer or a record-breaking most expensive transfer, I personally consider it still possible to happen. Although indeed, Jude Bellingham himself is still under contract with Dortmund until June 2025, this may be one big obstacle. But if Liverpool really have the money to sign him then why not, because Liverpool at least still has the profits from the sales of Sadio Mane and Takumi Minamino.

I don't think that Jude Bellingham is leaving Dortmund anytime soon. I mean I believe he won't be allowed to leave as long as a team show up and pay the fee in his release clause. However it is more than 100 million euros and I have big doubts about whether any team would be willing to go for it still. Liverpool have been a rumoured team with him in the recent times but I expect this to stay as rumours. It hasn't been much time they signed Darwin Nunez for 75 million. Maybe they wouldn't like to pay more than 100 million for one player now.

You are right. Lewandowski is no more mentally prepared to be with the Bayern Munich squad. He wants to stay with Barcelona and win the Ballon d'Or award next season. Despite his outstanding performances with Bayern Munich, he has not been able to win the Ballon d'Or award. This is his misfortune. So he wants to take on new challenges. However, since the financial situation of Barcelona is not good, it will be difficult for Barcelona to take Lewandowski in the team now. Also, since Bayern Munich does not want to leave Lewandowski, they will demand a very high price for Lewandowski.

How long can they keep Barcelona off ?
Keeping players who no longer wants to play is a tiring thing.
Lewandoski wants out , he wouldn't want to continue with Bayern Munich.
Seen news about him going to force he's move out of Bundesliga.

Liverpool might not buy Bellingham as they have enough good players already and they will try to balance their finance. Bellingham has expensive transfer price now. Manchester United has more interests to buy Bellingham but with chaos in this club, Bellingham might not agree to move to Old Trafford. No Champions League in a new season and their competitiveness in Premier League is still unknown.

After the first season with Ten Hag, Bellingham can make decision to move to Old Trafford or another club, if he does not want to stay with Dortmund.

They will let Bellingham moves to another club. It's only matter of transfer price Dortmund will receive from Bellingham transfer. They wisely chose him, gave him opportunities to play, helped him to grow up. Now, his price on transfer market is no longer cheap. Maybe Bellingham will stay in Dortmund one or two more seasons as he is still young and has lot of time in his career.

One reason that he won't leave Dortmund in this summer, World Cup is coming and he will need a club that can give him very regular chance to play. He has it in Dortmund and World Cup is a big tournament each 4 years. He does not want to move to a bigger club and face with a risk that he won't be able to be chosen for England squad. We saw what happened with Sancho after the transfer to Manchester United last season.

I don't think Dortmund wanted to let him go. although many teams are interested in signing him, at a very high price, I doubt the real intentions of Dortmund.
I think Bellingham will stay for at least another season. and when the name and the game get better, there will be more clubs interested, even if it costs a lot.

In terms of price, they are actually not too adventurous because they only want to release Lewandowski with the full clause but the problem is that it is something that is difficult for Barcelona.
Pedri is a good asset with Gavi and Ansu so I'm not sure Xavi will let this player go.
the most likely is now De Jong but the problem is they also need De Jong's money for other purposes so indeed the drama of Lewandowski, Barcelona and Bayern will continue.

I'm getting more and more curious about what Bayern Munich has planned for this Polish player. But I think they want a price above what Barcelona are asking, or indeed they have no intention of selling Lewandowski. But if so will Lewandowski be at his best? Because we know his desire to go is very high.

Bellingham will be going to be an expensive player in the world when MU and Liverpool are interesting to him. But, Dortmund is quite responsive, they fence that potential player at a high price which is higher than Haaland. Dortmund management is good, when happens, they will get enough cash in windows transfer. Bellingham was recruited from Birmingham city with only 30 Pound in 2021 and he was a legend in Birmingham, his back number (22) museumized.

I don't see anything outrageous in this, given the age of the player, it's just that the player wants to convert his titles of The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2020, 2021 into something more tangible in material terms. Especially if there are teams that are willing to pay the amount requested by the player despite the coronavirus. Still, it is not a fact that it will be possible to do this in a year, when the contract expires. The most important thing is that Bayern does not get into a pose and still allows the player to try himself in another championship, especially since it's not all for free. At least, there is information that Barcelona asked Lewandowski and Silva to wait a few weeks while the club is looking for the necessary money and Robert hopes to solve everything within two weeks.

Bayern Munich have rejected Barcelona's third offer (approximately 50 million euros) as well. Things are getting really difficult for Barcelona day by day. Normally this is a really good offer for him but Bayern Munich just don't want to lose him at all costs. I wonder now if Barcelona will give up soon which would be a big disappointment for Lewandowski at the same time. While your player is this much willing to leave you had better let him leave. There is no benefit in forcing him for the team and the player himself.

Since he is young and has 3 years in his contract with Dortmund without a clause then the club can ask whatever its wants and the player and the other teams have nothing to do. This strategy was used before with Haaland and Dortmund ended by selling him at lower than half the price asked first.
€120m will chase out everyone that was interested on him in this window.

I agree that Ronaldo cares about winning more than he cares about money for sure. Of course he wouldn't play for a few million dollars, that would be idiotic because any team who gets him would be getting a huge ton of money. This means that he would take a "pay cut" if he believes that the team will not make a huge sum of money back. Like look at United, they got him and in return they made a profit just from jersey sales.

I understand that a team is suppose to make some profit as well and that is totally understandable. But at the same time they need success. In this case, if Bayern gets Ronaldo, they can't just pay him 5 million, they will sell a ton of jersey, so he will ask a good chunk of money, but not enough to make them a loss.

Dortmund will lock Bellingham to stay at Dortmund for next season although several European giants are very interested in getting his services. Dortmund certainly do not want to lose Bellingham so Dortmund released a price clause that is high enough to prevent rich clubs from asking for his hand this summer. Dortmund is every season the attention of big European clubs because Dortmund are able to score new stars in their squad. I don't think Dortmund will be weak next season since in the absence of Haaland they definitely have the right replacements for every position their star has left.

Well, without a doubt, Haaland will give his best for City, I don't know if you've seen a bit of his biography, but since he was little he's always been a City fan, his dad took him down that path and I think that when he was offered to go to City did not hesitate, they also have a great coach like Pep Guardiola, if he had arrived earlier, perhaps they would have been the UCL champions, without a doubt City is preparing as one of the best teams out there, not only for its league but at the world level, it is a team that has an incredible formation, it has very good players, and the Android will really make a great contribution to the team.

It is true that one of the things that I like about the Bundesliga is that the most veteran players give them a lot of importance, in leagues like the Spanish one in the case of Ral Madrid and Barcelona, they like to hire only youngsters and celebrities, while that in the Bundesliga they appreciate veterans much more, for me at 35 years old they are still very young and experienced, Buffon was 43 years old and was still Juve's goalkeeper.

Dortmund are under the threat of getting weaker now. I mean that they might lose Jude Bellingham also by some teams' paying his release clause. The same thing happened for Erling Haaland and it isn't impossible for Bellingham too. However there is a different point in this one in fact. Maybe the big and rich teams might not have the same feelings about Bellingham. At least some of them can be like this. They might not want to pay a huge sum around 120 million euros. Currently the reported teams that are interested in him are Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
