Real Madrid will reportedly send officials to Germany to speak to Jude Bellingham about signing the club.
The England international, 19, has been strongly connected with a season in the Premier League this summer.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, all to beat the Borussia Dortmund superstar.
And Paris Saint-Germain has also been discussed as an imaginable destination.
Liverpool recently pulled out of the race in search of midfielders with a more moderate value, with Bellingham valued at around £130m.
And according to Marca, United, City and Chelsea may also miss him as Real Madrid intensify their search.
The Spanish giants are expected to arrive in Dortmund in the coming days for talks with Bellingham.
They are meant to have a “direct” line of communication with the midfielder.
And they are sure that the former Birmingham boy will sign for them on June 30.
But Dortmund still hope to keep him for another season.
He arrived in Germany in 2020 and has scored 21 goals and 25 assists in appearances for the club.
His contract runs until 2025, and Dortmund are willing to give him an advanced contract to stay with him until next year.
However, an exit turns out to be the most likely option for Bellingham, as European giants turn to his signature.
