Jude Bellingham's HUGE price tag set as Liverpool, Man City & Real Madrid prepare for summer transfer battle

• Belingham hot property right now
• Seven clubs chasing midfielder
• Dortmund set £132m price tag

WHAT HAPPENED? The 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund has become one of the most sought-after players in world football, with his performances for the German club – as well as in the Qatar World Cup with England – catching the eye.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Athletic report that Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Manchester City are among those interested in bolstering their midfield options this summer, with Bellingham very much a top priority.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Borussia Dortmund are known to cash in on their most valuable assets at the right time, with the Bundesliga side expected to demand £132m ($160m) for Bellingham. That price tag reflects the fact that Dortmund do not have an urgent need to sell, with the teenager still under contract until June 2025.
