TOP STORY: Dortmund to decide Bellingham future after World Cup
Jude Bellingham will sit down with Borussia Dortmund officials after the World Cup to decide his future, the club’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has told Bild. The Dortmund chief says that the club needs to know what the 19-year-old midfielder’s plans are so that they can map out their future, and in particular whether that’s with or without him.
“After Qatar, we’ll have a discussion about what Jude actually wants,” Watzke told Bild. “He should just tell us whether he wants to stay or leave. If the really big clubs are involved, then we can’t afford to have a fight financially.”
Some of the transfer fees mentioned to secure a deal for Bellingham have been north of £100 million, so Dortmund feel they need to know what they’re dealing with before they can start planning for the 2023-24 season. Among the big clubs circling for the England international are Liverpool and Real Madrid, with Jurgen Klopp said to have the upper hand in the race.
