Reports claim the Spanish heavyweights are locked in advantaged talks with their German counterparts, who value their much sought-after superstar between £106million-£130m.
There are still some obstacles to overcome with Real Madrid prepared to pay around £90m, but it's understood that both parties are 'confident' of finding a resolution.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says talks are actually in the final stages, and that a new meeting has been scheduled.
He tweeted: "Real Madrid are close to complete deal to sign Jude Bellingham, confirmed. Negotiations are progressing to the final stages.
"Personal terms are almost agreed — Juni Calafat, crucial again. New meeting has been scheduled to complete the agreement with Borussia Dortmund."

Bellingham left Birmingham for Borussia Dortmund for £25m, becoming the most expensive 17-year-old in the history of football.
He's since captained the side and scored 21 goals and contributed 25 assists in all competitions for Dortmund, racking up over 130 appearances.
Manchester City are distant second-favourites at 11/2, ahead of Bellingham remaining at Dortmund for another season, which is priced at 8/1.
Liverpool are considered best of the rest at 16/1, although Jurgen Klopp's side have already withdrawn from the race due to the player's valuation.
Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are locked together at 33/1, ahead of 40/1 chance Chelsea and 50/1 outsiders Manchester United and Newcastle.
