Borussia Dortmund are reportedly hopeful of tying Jude Bellingham down to a new contract to ward off interest in his services.
The 18-year-old has already established himself as a regular for both club and country and has amassed six goals and 13 assists in 40 appearances for Dortmund this season.
The likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in Bellingham, with the Reds and Los Blancos thought to be preparing £84m swoops for the England international.
However, Football Insider now claims that Dortmund have no interest in parting ways with Bellingham this summer and are instead looking to tie the teenager down to fresh terms.
Bellingham’s existing contract at the Westfalenstadion does not expire until 2025, and he only penned that extension in the summer of 2021, but he will seemingly be rewarded for his impressive showings this season with a bumper new deal.
The former Birmingham City youngster has chalked up a total of 10 goals and 17 assists in 86 outings for Dortmund since arriving in a £22.5m deal from St Andrew’s in 2020.
