Okay but he has apparently agreed to our terms too and i doubt we forced him.Bellingham can't be forced to play where he doesn't want to. If it's true that he only wants Real & has agreed terms, the only discussion to be had with Dortmund is how much & when.
If Bellingham reiterates that it's Real & only Real, Dortmund either negotiate the best 2023 price they can. Accept a far lower fee in 12 months time, or he leaves on a free aged 21 in two season's time.
If I knew this to be the case & I've got shareholders to satisfy, & we were gonna eventually lose him for nowt anyway, I'd tell the Dortmund executives to get as near to the £130m as possible & do the deal.
Business is business...
If we outbid RM then it's up to him, but i don't see how the landscape has changed in 6 months, in fact i would've thought the case to join us has only got stronger.
If he's changed his mind, fair enough, but we haven't heard anything from him or our club, so until that time i think we're still very much in the frame.
