German giants Borussia Dortmund are reportedly willing to accept a fee of £83m for in-demand playmaker Jude Bellingham next summer.
The 19-year-old is believed to be one of the hottest properties on the market in 2023, as a multitude of top European teams compete for his services.
Bellingham left his native England to join Dortmund from Birmingham City back in 2020, and he has gone from strength the team.
The England international has already made a century of games for the Bundesliga team, founding back of the net 13 times and setting up 18 more in the process.
During the early stages of the 2022-23 season, Bellingham has played every minute of his side’s 10 appearances so far, founding back of the net twice in the Champions League and once in the DFB-Pokal.
The midfielder’s current deal at the Westfalenstadion runs until 2025, but there is supposedly an acceptance that he will depart from the club in the next summer transfer window after Dortmund kept hold of him for the 2022-23 campaign.
The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd are all expected to battle for Bellingham’s services, and according to The Sun, a fee of £83m may do the trick.
However, the report claims that any suitors will have to fork out the entirety of the fee in one payment if they are to strike a deal, which therefore makes Man City the early favourites.
