Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Jude Bellingham.
According to The Athletic, the Red Devils are one of many clubs interested in landing in Bellingham.
Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid remain in the Englishman’s sights, with a fierce battle expected next summer.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl told BT Sport:
“Jude is very happy at the club; he is very committed to us.”
“Hopefully, he can stay next season and for a long time.”
“We try to keep our best players. Jude is one of them, and we try to keep them as long as possible.”
“But in the end, money is another aspect, and England pays much more than Germany. We have to renew our philosophy every year.”
Dortmund are said to value Bellingham at €150m. One move would make him the most expensive British footballer in history.
The Bundesliga giants remain determined to keep their star man and have already planned to tie him to an upgraded contract.
Among all the club’s stakeholders, United came closest to signing him in 2020.
Despite being shown around the training complex and meeting Sir Alex Ferguson, Bellingham opted to move to Germany to further develop.
At Dortmund, the 19-year-old has established himself as one of the best midfielders in all of Europe. The general abilities of him at such a young age are simply extraordinary.
Ten Hag would love to have him as part of his United project, but he faces an uphill task.
