PETE JENSON: Real Madrid are desperate to sign £100m-rated Jude Bellingham in the summer and make him the new Luka Modric... but Spanish giants fear the Borussia Dortmund star wants to join Liverpool

Real Madrid will offer Jude Bellingham the chance to come and be the new Luka Modric next summer, but fear the England international is leaning towards Liverpool over a switch to LaLiga.

Madrid have abandoned their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe after he made fools of them last summer running down his Paris Saint-Germain contract, only to re-sign with the French club for an eye-watering £156million signing-on fee plus £650,000-a-week in wages.

Now they have turned their attention to the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder, and his stellar performances in the Champions League this season have heightened the club’s interest.
