REAL MADRID are reportedly desperate to sign Jude Bellingham ahead of a string of Premier League clubs.
And they are ready to offer £88million AND Eduardo Camavinga in exchange for the Borussia Dortmund star this summer.
Sky Germany claims Real chiefs are ready to make an offer their German counterparts can’t refuse as the race for Bellingham heats up.
The England ace, 19, is one of Europe’s most sought-after players after an outstanding World Cup campaign.
And Bellingham is being chased by almost all of the Premier League’s top sides to spark a major summer scramble.

However, Real believe they can land the teen as long as they can persuade Dortmund into accepting an offer.
The Spanish champs can’t afford the reported £135m price-tag, having already committed to a £60m deal for 16-year-old Brazilian winger Endrick.
So Real are instead plotting to bid a tasty £88m fee while also handing over Camavinga in exchange.
Like Bellingham, the 20-year-old France international is rated as one of the continent’s top young midfielders.
However, it appears Real see Bellingham as the better long-term prospect for their ambitions.

And they are reportedly ready to sacrifice Camavinga to get a deal over the line.
The tempting swap-plus-cash proposal could be enough to twist Dortmund’s arm.
It would firstly provide the Bundesliga side with an immediate like-for-like replacement.

And they would also have a stunning amount of money to significantly strengthen several other areas of their squad.
Most importantly, Camavinga is apparently open to the idea as well after struggling for minutes at Real this season.
And on the other side of the deal, it would take a lot to dissuade Bellingham from linking up with fellow young icons like Vinicius Jr and Aurelien Tchouameni.
