Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has confirmed that the club is interested in signing Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
The 19-year-old has established himself as one of the brightest young talents in international football, and his rapid rise has piqued the interest of a number of top clubs eager to sign him.
Bellingham has 19 goals and 22 assists in 112 games for Dortmund since joining from boyhood club Birmingham City in 2020.
The midfielder has also left an impression at international level, and has been one of England’s star players at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scoring his first Three Lions goal in the 6-2 group-stage win against Iran.
Bellingham is believed to be one of the most sought-after players when the transfer market reopens in the new year, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Man United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid all expressing an interest.
Ligue 1 champions PSG, have also emerged as a promising destination for Bellingham, and Al-Khelaifi has stated that he is eager to get the midfielder to the French capital.

When asked by Sky Sports News if PSG is exploring a deal for Bellingham, Al-Khelaifi said, “Everybody wants him, I’m not going to hide it.
“He’s at his club, and [we have] respect, so if we want to talk to him we’ll talk to the club first.”
Al-Khelaifi added: “Amazing player, what a player. England [are] lucky to have to him, to be honest. He’s one of the best players in the [World Cup].
PSG already have a slew of great players, including attacking trio Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar.
It remains to be seen if Bellingham would be attracted by a switch to Paris, but Liverpool are said to be the current frontrunners for his signing.
