BIRMINGHAM City are set for a huge transfer windfall once Jude Bellingham completes his £115million move to Real Madrid.

The England international is set to sign for the Spanish giants after a deal was agreed with Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham is on the verge of finalising the move, with a medical expected to take place in the comings days.

The deal is worth a total of £115million, consisting of a £88million initial fee and £27million in add-ons.

The Mirror report that this will see Bellingham's former side Birmingham receive £10million as part of a clause included when he was sold to Dortmund in 2020.

Although the exact percentage of the sell-on clause is unknown, it means the Championship side will have now banked £35million from the sale of Bellingham.
