Jude Bellingham has been linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, and the Los Blancos are expected to beat Liverpool to his signing.

The England international has already enjoyed a fine season, and will be aiming to crown it all with a first Bundesliga title win, and a place at Euro 2024 with his country.

It will reportedly cost money in excess of £100 million to take the 19-year-old away from his current club, Borussia Dortmund.

However, a new issue has emerged, which could threaten Bellingham’s future transfer, especially considering the amount it would potentially cost to sign him this summer.

According to German news outlet BILD, the teenager has been dealing with a chronic knee issue, and wears kinesio tape to help keep the pain at bay. The outlet also suggest that the problem could be more serious than currently understood.

This discovery could raise eyebrows surrounding his transfer.
