Borussia Dortmund have reportedly set an asking price of €150m (£131m) for midfielder Jude Bellingham. The England starlet’s price tag has risen yet again as his club seeks to outbid any interested parties.
Since joining Dortmund from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020, the 19-year-old has made 100 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing 18 assists.
Bellingham netted six goals and contributed 14 assists in 44 games in all competitions last season, and he has also been a key performer for BVB this season.
During the 2022–23 season, the England international scored three times in 10 club appearances, including two goals and two Champions League games.
Dortmund have the teenager on contract until June 2025, but the club are expected to cash in on him in a blockbuster deal next summer.
What Is The Asking Price For Jude Bellingham?
Liverpool and Manchester United are both said to be keen on signing the youngster, while Real Madrid is also said to be interested.
According to The Athletic, Bellingham’s contract contains no release clause, and Dortmund would require a fee in the region of €150m (£131m) to allow him to leave.
“He’s an upcoming superstar player. I am totally convinced he will leave Dortmund in 2023, maybe to Liverpool, maybe to Manchester United,” Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg recently said.
“I think these are two teams that have very good chances to get him. He’s an amazing player, amazing character. Very good personality.”

“In England, all the top clubs, not just Liverpool, are following Bellingham. Manchester City, for sure, but also Man United have been following Bellingham for a long time, so many clubs will be in the race,” Romano said on his official YouTube channel.
Before joining Dortmund, Bellingham played 44 games for Birmingham, scoring four times and assisting twice.
