      Since joining Dortmund in 2020 from Birmingham, Bellingham has only seen his reputation grow.
      AS report the German club have now requested the teen and his representatives – including his dad Mark who is also his agent – join them for crunch talks in the coming days to decide his future.
      Dortmund are believed to want to know what Bellingham intends to do in the summer.
      It follows a similar strategy used with Erling Haaland when the superstar striker was also a Dortmund player and being courted by several clubs.

      On that occasion, BVB held January talks with the Norwegian hitman before letting him depart for Manchester City.
      The club have very low hopes of retaining Bellingham, according to AS, as major clubs circle around the midfielder.
      Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool are among the club who have been linked with the Englishman.
      Real Madrid are also believed to be in the hunt and it is speculated they are willing to go close to £90m for him.

      But City are determined to hijack any deal and reunite Bellingham with former teammate Haaland.
      Sources at the club are confident that the chance to work with Pep Guardiola could swing the deal in City’s favour.
      Meanwhile, the Chelsea and Liverpool ownerships have shown a willingness to spend big to land their key targets.
      Bellingham’s standing grew even further after his riveting performances at the World Cup.
      The midfield ace frequently ran the show for England with his lung-busting runs and progressive play.
      Meanwhile for Dortmund this season, Bellingham has nine goals in 22 games so far including four strikes in the Champions League. More

      Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are all jostling for the teenage sensation.
      But Madrid want to muscle their way to the front of the queue.
      According to this morning’s edition of Marca, the LaLiga champions are set to move quickly to sign the former Birmingham City prodigy.
      They ran with the front page headline: “Acceleration for Bellingham”.

      A previous report from the Madrid-based paper claimed that Real asked the 19-year-old not to extend his Dortmund contract in a bid to make a move easier.
      Bellingham’s current deal with the Bundesliga club runs until 2025.
      And it reportedly contains a previously unknown £60million release clause – which could be particularly bad news for Chelsea.

      But a £60m fee brings other suitors with less deep pockets back into the race.
      Bellingham is claimed in some quarters to favour a move to Liverpool – having already built up strong relationships with England team-mates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson.
      The midfielder is the Reds’ No1 target, after they sealed a £37m deal to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV earlier this week.
      Since England’s elimination from the World Cup, Bellingham has been enjoying some downtime back in Blighty.
      He made an emotional return to St Andrew’s to watch his beloved Birmingham City and say a proper goodbye to their fans.
      While he also visited Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
      Bellingham, 19, was most recently spotted at Turf Moor watching his brother Jobe in action for Birmingham against Burnley last night.

      Mbappe is under contract until 2024 and Gazzetta.it reckon any move would total one billion euros over four years – about £877million.
      That includes close to £552m in wages and a transfer fee of around £132m, plus signing-on fees and commission.
      Real president Florentino Perez is still keen on Mbappe, despite surprisingly missing out on him last summer.
      The pacy striker, who was 24 on Tuesday, won the Golden Boot in Qatar with eight goals.

      And Real Madrid legend Guti turned up the pressure on Perez to deliver.
      The ex-Spain midfielder insists the Bernabeu needs Mbappe – and he needs them.
      Guti said: “The best have to stay at Real Madrid. 
      “Seeing him play for PSG makes me angry, and not only for Real but also for La Liga.

      “La Liga must always have the best in the world. 
      “Mbappe is a player made for Real, and then if he wants to do what Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have done, he has to play for Real Madrid because he won’t make it for PSG. 
      “Madrid must go and get him immediately, now. 
      “There are good players on the market, but none like him. Yes, Haaland maybe, but a step below. Mbappe, he is unique. 
      “Only he can give what Messi gave to Barcelona or Ronaldo to Madrid. Nobody else.”
      Messi’s double helped Argentina lift the World Cup last Sunday, but unlucky loser Mbappe seems sure to shatter more records at the top level.
      He helped France win the trophy in 2018 and now has 12 goals in 14 games from just two tournaments.
      German Miroslav Klose is the World Cup’s all-time top scorer, with 16 from 24 matches. More

      Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea transfer blow with Real Madrid confident of £100m-plus Jude Bellingham signing

      But Carlo Ancelotti’s Real have become increasingly confident that, after courting him throughout 2022, Bellingham, 19, will snub a Premier League move and make a big switch to Spain next summer.
      Liverpool are desperate to sign him, with manager Jurgen Klopp believing that Borussia Dortmund ace Bellingham — who enjoyed a fine World Cup with England — will soon become the world’s best midfielder.
      In Qatar, both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson told the player about the merits of featuring for the Reds.
      City feel they are not out of the race and are expected to up their bid to land Bellingham, who moved from Birmingham to Dortmund for £30m in the summer of 2020.

      But Ancelotti and Real feel the chance to become a Bernabeu icon will seal the deal.
      All of the clubs, even those with limitless pots of cash such as City and PSG, have been made aware that wages are not important for Bellingham — only how a move would benefit him football-wise.
      As SunSport revealed last week, United boss Erik ten Hag is planning a £200m double whammy to land Bellingham and Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.
      Ten Hag’s problem is Bellingham turned down United to join Dortmund.

      Club legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona and Bryan Robson were all sent to meet the player but failed to persuade him to move to Old Trafford.

      He was also handed the club captaincy earlier this season, before thriving with England in Qatar.

      Isco ‘RIPS UP Sevilla contract after just four disastrous months with ex-Real Madrid star on hunt for new club’

      ISCO is set to leave Sevilla only four months after signing for the club, dramatic reports suggests. The midfielder had been trying to find his feet at a new club after a difficult few years at Real Madrid.

      But his move to Sevilla has not gone to plan and the six-times Europa League winners find themselves in the relegation zone after 14 games.
      The manager Julen Lopetegui, who is believed to have been a close ally of Isco, was sacked in October after the club’s poor start to the season.
      And now the 30-year-old could himself be on the way out, according to Marca.
      Despite signing a two-year contract as recently as August, the star could reportedly rip up his contract after a breakdown in relationship with senior club figures.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The Spanish publication report he is in “open conflict” with director of football Monchi.
      They reported last month: “Tension is palpable in each training. And Isco let Monchi know that he was at Sevilla at Lopetegui’s request, not because Monchi himself wanted his signing.”
      It represents a big challenge to current Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli who is looking to stop the club being relegated for the first time since 1997.
      Isco had been a regular starter in the team and appeared in 12 of their 14 league games.

      But he only has two assists to show for his efforts domestically.
      His only Sevilla goal came in 3-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen.
      Isco’s potential departure could catch the interest of several Premier League clubs.
      Arsenal and Tottenham are among those who have been linked to the former Real Madrid man, who at his height was viewed as among Europe’s best playmakers.
      Lopetegui, now boss at Wolves, may also fancy a reunion with the no.10 at Molineux. The Spanish manager is believed to want several new faces at the club. More

      He headed to the World Cup as a free agent and was a part of the Portugal squad that exited the tournament in the quarter-finals following a 1-0 defeat to Morocco.
      Now Ronaldo has returned to Europe without a club and is training with former side Real Madrid in a bid to keep his fitness up.
      He first trained with Los Blancos on Wednesday as speculation over a stunning comeback began.
      And those links rumbled on when he arrived in a Mercedes for Real training yet again on Thursday.

      Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano posted a clip on social media of Ronaldo turning up.
      And he added: “Cristiano Ronaldo had training session at Real Madrid center Valdebebas also today. He’s allowed to train on separate pitch.”
      Ronaldo enjoyed his best years in the Spanish capital, winning two LaLiga crowns and four Champions League titles during his nine-year stay.
      He has never been shy in revealing his fondness for Real and would no doubt happily return.

      Yet, despite president Florentino Perez’s kind words down the years, it’s believed the club have shut the door to a potential return as they don’t want to disrupt Carlo Ancelotti’s current squad.
      Since leaving Man Utd, Ronaldo has been linked with a mega-money move to Al Nassr.
      It’s believed the forward will be offered a staggering £173million a year to complete a free move to Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile, Ronaldo is NOT expected to retire from international duty after Portugal’s World Cup heartache.
      The ex-Sporting Lisbon star was spotted in tears in the tunnel following the gut-wrenching defeat to Morocco.
      But CM Journal claims Ronaldo has already informed Portugal chiefs he intends to continue playing for his country.
      And that puts him in contention to lead his nation at Euro 2024 in 18 months time.
      Ronaldo found himself on the bench in the latter stages of the World Cup, replaced by Goncalo Ramos – who scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 mauling of Switzerland.
      He was subbed on in both Portugal’s last 16 clash with Switzerland and quarter-final against Morocco – but was unable to end his career-long knockout stage goal drought. More
