Bellingham has been heavily linked with a move in the summer as top European clubs eye him.
Rio Ferdinand has asked Jude Bellingham to choose Real Madrid over Manchester United.
Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Manchester City have been tipped as his next destinations, but Ferdinand explains why a move to the Santiago Bernabeu will be a better option.
Reports point out that Borussia Dortmund will ask for at least £130 million for the 19-year-old highly-rated midfielder.
Liverpool have already pulled out of the race as Jurgen Klopp admitted limited resources hindered their pursuit.
"Liverpool have ruled themselves out now, (but) I think if they said they would have liked him, there was still a chance he may have gone to Liverpool," Ferdinand told BT Sport.

FOOTBALL Ten Hag reveals the type of striker he wants at Manchester United
The Red Devils have already been linked with a number of top-level centre-forwards.
"Just because he believes in himself and would back himself to be the catalyst to get them back up again, which then amplifies his character and his stardust."
Ferdinand believes his former club’s primary priority is the signing of a center-forward and given that Bellingham’s going to cost a lot, the move will not materialize.
"Maybe that is something that would have excited him. Man United might offer that, but the problem is that United’s priority is a centre-forward and that’s very secondary," he added.

FOOTBALL Casemiro reveals next ambition at Manchester United
The former Real Madrid star has already won a trophy at Old Trafford.
"It’s a lot of money, and I don’t think they can do both.
"If I’m him now, I probably go to Real Madrid. They’ve got a great blend of experience and young players."
The retired defender believes Real Madrid have got youngsters that will develop alongside Bellingham.
"You’ve got Camavinga, [Federico] Valverde, and Tchouameni, three of the other best young midfielders in the world as well, in that squad. They’re building for success over a good period of time," he concluded.
