Borussia Dortmund are aware that it will be difficult to keep Bellingham for another year
According to reports in Germany, Borussia Dortmund will demand €150 million from those clubs who are interested in their midfielder Jude Bellingham next summer.
The 19-year-old is expected to be one of the most in-demand midfielders at the end of the season following his impressive performances for Dortmund this season.
Bellingham is believed to be one of Chelsea’s top targets with Graham Potter keen to strengthen his midfield options after a decent start to the campaign.
However, Chelsea faces stiff competition as Liverpool and Manchester City are also in the running, while Real Madrid have registered their interest. Real Madrid are ahead in the race.
According to Bild, the Bundesliga giants are aware that it will be difficult to keep Bellingham for another year, but Dortmund will hold out for a €150m (£128.9m) transfer fee.
The report also adds that Dortmund are aware of interest from Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Speaking about his future last week, Bellingham said: ‘In all honesty I’m not thinking about anything like that [the transfer rumours].
‘You [the media] will be angry with me as you won’t get a headline, but I’m just focused on the next games with Borussia Dortmund.
‘I’m not even thinking about the World Cup. I’m trying to win games with Borussia Dortmund and then we’ll see what happens.’
