In the anticipation of countless fans, the transfer of Dortmund’s young talent Bellingham has finally made significant progress. According to reliable sources, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement on the transfer fee and will soon officially announce the deal.
After a long period of difficult negotiations, Real Madrid successfully moved Dortmund’s top management with huge floating terms, and finally reached an agreement. According to the agreement, the base amount of the transfer fee is 100 million euros, plus a floating bonus of up to 60 million euros. This price is acceptable to both parties. Dortmund previously insisted on a transfer fee of 150 million euros. Even if Real Madrid raised the offer to 140 million euros, Dortmund still did not agree. Therefore, Real Madrid changed their bidding strategy.
For Real Madrid, they need to make multiple signings in this transfer window, so they cannot spend a large amount of transfer budget on Bellingham. This is why they have been reluctant to pay 150 million euros to bring Bellingham to the team before.
By revising the reserve price, Real Madrid only needs to pay Dortmund 100 million euros, and the remaining 60 million euros will be paid gradually in the next few seasons. This form of offer is acceptable to Real Madrid because they can save on the transfer fee budget. Even if all the floating terms are fulfilled, it will not have much impact on Real Madrid’s normal signing budget. It can be said that this deal is a win-win result for both Dortmund and Real Madrid. Real Madrid saved as much room as possible in their transfer budgets, while Dortmund got rich money in return.
Interestingly, Bellingham has agreed a personal contract with Real Madrid. Club president Florentino values this young midfield talent very much. Real Madrid also offered Bellingham a high salary of 20 million euros per year, second only to Hazard. In addition, Bellingham will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid. This means that Bellingham will play for the Galacticos until at least 2029. This is also the shrewdness of Real Madrid. By extending the contract period, amortizing a transaction that may cost a lot of transfer fees and salary budgets to each season, thus saving the budget. This approach has also been adopted by Chelsea before. As a professional club, Real Madrid certainly knows how to take advantage of loopholes in the rules.
Bellingham‘s arrival is just the beginning of Real Madrid’s summer transfer plans. The team needs signings in the frontcourt, midfield and defense. In addition to Bellingham, Real Madrid have other targets, including Gonzalo Ramos in the Portuguese league, Pepe and Bayern Munich full-back Pavard.
It is foreseeable that Real Madrid will build a brand new super galaxy battleship this summer. The degree of shock of this plan is no less than that of the previous phases of Galaxy Battleship Phase I and Phase II. In 2009, Real Madrid signed many well-known players in the transfer market at one time, achieving an unprecedented grand occasion. And this summer transfer window, Real Madrid still hope to achieve such a feat again. After experiencing a disastrous defeat against Manchester City, the team executives realized that the current lineup is difficult to match the first-class level in Europe. There are too many positions that the team needs to improve. After careful consideration, Real Madrid took out the entire transfer budget and is determined to make a big splash this summer.
