<h5>Bellingham future</h5>



<p>Bellingham’s future at Borussia Dortmund has always been on the cloud and his magnificent World Cup would surely mean that the German side would like a make a hefty profit on the teenager when he leaves for greener pastures.</p>



<p>Manchester City believe that Bellingham could snub any of his potential suitors to play under Pep Guradiola, the latter who has a contract with the club till 2025. Moreover, Bellingham’s former Dortmund teammate <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/09/17/erling-haaland-on-pace-to-smash-premier-league-goal-record/">Erling Haaland</a> is also at the Manchester side that could play a role in his decision.</p>



<h5>Arch rivals also in the race</h5>



<p>Arch rivals Manchester United are also in the race to sign the midfielder and the Red Devils could mount a bid for the teenager next summer. </p>



<p>The Red Devils are huge admirers of Bellingham ever since he moved to Germany from Birmingham City in 2020. United believe they can lure Bellingham to Old Trafford by offering him a key role in the club’s future.</p>



<p>French giants Paris St Germain are also interested in the player with club chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi saying, “Everybody wants him, I’m not going to hide it.” </p>



<p>However, the report states that the Paris based side are no longer interested in the Englishman and would likely want to avoid a bidding war amongst potential suitors.</p>



<p>Bellingham who can play as the midfield pivot or as a box to box midfielder has scored 21 goals and provided 19 assists in 112 appearances for Dortmund.</p>

Now 19, Bellingham is garnering interest from the best teams on the planet.</p>



<p>Playing well for Dortmund is impressive, but <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/09/27/england-cant-win-the-world-cup-without-jude-bellingham/">dominating midfiel</a>d during the World Cup <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/jude-bellingham-and-bukayo-saka-englands-world-cup-stars-20221124-WST-409625.html">as a teenager</a> is simply spectacular. Bellingham has started all four tournament matches for England so far. He has already collected a goal and an assist in the competition as well.</p>



<h2>PSG among massive clubs desiring Jude Bellingham</h2>



<p>Because of the breakout performances, the teen is receiving a lot of attention. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/the-history-of-manchester-united-vs-manchester-city-gary-james-interview-video-20130406-CMS-52551.html">Manchester City</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">Paris Saint-Germain</a> have all been reportedly interested in bringing in the star next summer. PSG President and Owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi&nbsp;gushed about Jude Bellingham during a recent interview with <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/western-politicians-have-failed-to-promote-their-agenda-at-the-world-cup-qatar-sporting-official-says-12762952" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sky Sports</a>.</p>



<p>“What a player. Honestly, England are lucky to have him … and he’s one of the best players in the tournament,” proclaimed Al-Khelaifi. “Amazing and you see his first World Cup – calm and relaxed and confident.”</p>

<p>The wealthy team owner also could not hide his interest in potentially bringing Jude Bellingham to PSG. “Everyone wants him. I’m not going to hide it,” Al-Khelaifi said. “But I respect he’s in his club and, respect if we want to talk to him, we talk to the club first.”</p>



<h5>German team will make huge profit if they sell</h5>



<p>Dortmund will certainly be talking to many teams regarding Bellingham. The German club previously shelled out an initial transfer fee of €25 million to buy the midfielder from Birmingham City. However, the total amount most likely has now reached €30 million after certain stipulations were met. </p>



<p>Nevertheless, many have suggested that Jude Bellingham is now worth in excess of $100 million, which is no issue for PSG. Some of the aforementioned big clubs probably wouldn’t baulk at a fee in this region, either. Dortmund can be patient on finding the right buyer though, as the teen’s current contract runs until 2025. </p>
