According to Sport Bild, Real Madrid are considering whether to sign Josko Gvardiol or Jude Bellingham this summer.

However, Real Madrid don't want to make more than one triple-digit million deal this summer and therefore have to weigh up which of the two they want to go after, according to Sport Bild.
When Leipzig extended Gvardiol's contract last summer, a release clause of 112 million euros was included in his contract. However, the clause only applies from 2024, meaning that the Croatian international's price is up for negotiation this summer.
Leipzig don't seem keen on selling the Croatian center-back, though, as they have repeatedly stated that he is expected to stay beyond the summer.
Bellingham, meanwhile, is expected to inform the Dortmund bosses during the international break whether he wants to stay or not.
If the central midfielder were to leave Signal Iduna Park, his price tag would certainly exceed the €100 million mark.
