To convince Real Madrid, Guardiola is proposing a swap deal involving Rodri plus a financial add-on, bringing the total value to 150 million euros. However, Real have refused to sell Bellingham. Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso consider him essential for both the present and the future of the club. While the idea of a swap deal is on the table, it is highly unlikely that Bellingham will leave Madrid this winter.
