Jude Bellingham looks almost certain to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer, with Real Madrid the clear favorites to land the midfielder in a transfer worth more than €100 million.

Therefore, it makes sense that Borussia Dortmund are looking for suitable candidates to replace the 19-year-old in the heart of the midfield.

One of them is Edson Alvarez. According to Sport Bild, the 25-year-old is being monitored by BVB, who would have to pay at least €40 million to persuade Ajax to sell him. Compared to Bellingham, Alvarez is a more defensive player who can also be used in central defense.

Sport Bild lists Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga as a more offensive alternative. The Spain U21 international has a release clause of €40 million.

Additionally, Chelsea's Conor Gallagher has also been linked with Dortmund in recent weeks, with Sky Germany estimating the 23-year-old to cost around €50 million.
