Madrid are edging closer to landing the England star, who was also chased by a host of Premier League clubs including Man City and Liverpool.
The 19-year-old's father, Mark, met with officials of the LaLiga club at the start of May as they delivered their pitch to sign one of the most exciting talents in world football.
The result of that meeting led Real Madrid to be convinced they would complete a deal for him and Bellingham being happy with contract proposals is a major step.
It has been widely expected that the midfielder would make the next move of his career this summer, despite having a contract with Dortmund until 2025.
The German club are likely to command a fee in excess of £100million. That represents a significant return from the £20m they paid Birmingham City back in 2020.
