Fjortoft drops Bellingham update after Real Madrid transfer priority rumour emerges

Jan Aage Fjortoft has disputed a claim of @JorgeCPicon in @relevo stating that the coveted midfielder Jude Bellingham has decided on Real Madrid as his next destination.

The Viaplay journalist responded to a tweet from Empire of the Kop by broadcasting the update on Twitter with: “Nothing! Nothing decided!!”

This follows a joint report into the matter by Norwegian and Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on the former’s YouTube channel and it has been made clear that a multiplicity of teams are interested in the teenager.

The Merseysiders are certainly one such contender in a long list of suitors with the Englishman potentially set to attract a record fee of over at least £87.4m.

Not an amazing price tag given that we’re talking about an already generational talent (in the eyes of many commentators) at the tender age of 19.

With Bellingham likely to continue to dominate in midfield for the next decade, a fee hovering around or above the £100m mark still looks like a great bargain in the long run.
