Real Madrid want Bellingham, Davies AND Mbappe
Real Madrid could sign all three of Jude Bellingham, Alphonso Davies and Kylian Mbappe in an extraordinary summer transfer splurge.
The LaLiga giants appear to have the edge of Manchester City in the race to land Bellingham – after Liverpool concluded they couldn’t meet Borussia Dortmund’s €150m valuation of the 19-year-old England midfielder – but that might only be the beginning of their business this off-season.
Of course, Real would have to raid two fellow heavyweights in Bayern Munich and PSG to get their hands on Davies and Mbappe – but the pull of the 14-time European champions cannot be underestimated.

According to Sky Sports, Real have had Davies on their radar for some time – while it’s been well-publicised that they’ve chased Mbappe, 24, in the past.
Los Blancos tried to sign Mbappe for almost €200m last year – only for the France superstar to extend his contract at PSG.
As for Davies, it would surely take an absolutely incredible offer for Bayern to even consider parting ways with one of their standout performers; our Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) model currently valued the Canadian international, 22, at €65.6m, but the Bundesliga leaders could demand much more for one of the best left-backs in the world.

A deal for Bellingham seems by far the most likely of the three to be completed – especially given Mbappe’s contract situation.
The 2018 World Cup winner has the option to extend his stay at PSG beyond the end of next season – but if he decides not to, he will be free to negotiate with clubs outside France next January.
In that event, Real would be able to get their hands on one of the best players on the planet without paying a transfer fee.
