Are they normally accurate? The news aggregators are reporting that BILD has said he is going Madrid and Dortmund want the deal done fast so they can spend it.

BVB-Brodeln wegen Matthias Sammer – Nach Aussagen über Jude Bellingham

Die Sammer-Aussagen über Jude Bellingham hallten in Dortmund nach.

When asked if a move to Spain would not come too soon for the Englishman, Sammer replied confusingly: "He would at least get a better education than in Dortmund! Because, in part, of course, a 19-year-old sometimes has a few nonsense in his head off the field and sometimes on the field, which is perfectly normal for his development. I think you have to influence it..."

Some will dismiss Sam Lee as a rag but..
he is about the most respectful rag I've ever heard from..
maybe because he makes his living off writing decent City articles!

He had an interesting bit about Pep..

that Pep seems to prefer 2 different midfielder types..
direct and aggressive like KDB, Foden vs
pass it sideways "la pausa" Gundogan and Bernardo who can slow it down and know when to speed it up as Pep hates basketball games and wants "control".

As we might lose both of them this summer so he can't understand why we would replace them both with a direct and aggressive midfielder like Bellingham.

I suppose McAtee could be a la pausa type midfielder.
Maybe Perrone is being groomed to be another one..

but I think Pep would clearly want another la pausa too or want Gundo to stay even if he is declining.

The above is a fairly okay translation of what Sammer apparently said. The rest of the article just say that this statement was not well received by the Dortmund management as it can be seen as a criticism of the job they have done. I do not see anything in this article which tells us more about the state of the negotiations.

Bellingham is a very versatile midfielder though, he’s played several roles for Dortmund this season. He’s played mostly as a tradition box to box, but he’s played as a holding midfielder in about 30% of games too. You’ve got to think, his manager probably asks him to play the way he does (forward passes, long balls and runs). A big strength though, is he’s very press resistant, he’s got great close control and awareness, which is very important for that pausa role.

McAtee is more of the aggressive type you mention though, playing mostly in the attacking roles. There’s a lot ahead of him right now, so If he comes back to us, it may be to replace Palmer as a squad player. But he could be coached into the pausa type role due to his technical ability.

There’s a lot of young talented players out there, and some players who would cost north of £100M, who could do the role if Gundo goes and we don’t get Bellingham. But one player to watch for might be, Rico Lewis, he can play La pausa.

add that onto 130 million for bellingham.

Another publication added Haaland to Real this summer into the mix too. However, it was only 12 months ago that Real sold £320m of future revenue to stop them making a massive loss & failing FFP.

So that's Haaland, Mbappé & Bellingham to Real in this summer's transfer window... And they all think City are the problem ruining football... \0/
 
Apparently we are having Kovacic now because Hey Jude is going to RM.
