Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have agreed a €103m deal plus add-ons for former Liverpool target Jude Bellingham.
This season's Bundesliga runners-up will score £88m with the add-ons reaching as high as €30.9m (£26.5m) as Carlo Ancelotti's side have won the race to sign the highly-rated 19-year-old.
Manchester City were among the other potential suitors for the England international but it has been claimed that the Citizens didn't provide the financial numbers required to Dortmund or Bellingham regarding a fee or salary.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with the Birmingham City academy graduate after his rise to prominence with the German giants with a breakout season this campaign after inspiring their Champions League run. On the international stage, he has established himself as a key member of Gareth Southgate's side while striking up a friendship with Reds captain, Jordan Henderson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In a press release from Borussia Dortmund, they confirm that the midfielder will depart this summer with the transfer officially going through on July 1 when the international market opens. Thirty per cent of the fixed transfer allowance was agreed while the add-ons depend on the achievements of Real Madrid or personal success from Bellingham for the next six seasons.
The news comes hours after the Reds' move for Alexis Mac Allister accelerated. The Argentina international is set to put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Anfield after they agreed a deal with Brighton & Hove Albion for the midfielder.
It has been reported that Liverpool triggered the complex release clause in the 24-year-old's contract which will see him move to Merseyside for a fee in the region of £45m. Yesterday (Tuesday), the ECHO reported that the former Argentina Juniors and Boca Juniors man had scheduled a medical ahead of his move.
The move for Mac Allister is likely to not be the only piece of business from Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool chiefs. Romeo Lavia has his admirers with Matheus Nunes equally appreciated.
In recent weeks, reports in France and Germany have linked France U21 duo Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone with moves to L4. Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch is another who is said to be of interest.
