Reports indicate that landing the English superstar will be an enormous challenge, as the Madrid club considers him one of their five untouchables, alongside Courtois, Militão, Tchouaméni, and Mbappé. Even if United table an official bid, Real Madrid are not willing to entertain it and fully expect Bellingham to remain a key part of their squad.

So far this season, Bellingham has featured in twenty matches for Real Madrid across all competitions, netting five goals and providing four assists. Transfermarkt currently values him at €160 million.

Reminder: Real are reportedly ready to part ways with defender Ferland Mendy.
