Bayern Munich director Oliver Kahn has ruled the German club out of the race to sign Jude Bellingham.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is already looking likely to be the most in-demand player over the next 12 months, with the Reds well-known to have been monitoring him for some time. The 19-year-old was once again impressive for England in their Nations League clash with Germany and is improving by the week back in the Bundesliga.
Bellingham's continued rapid development will only increase interest across the continent, but serial German champions Bayern Munich also have more than enough pulling power to enter any race and take command. The Bavarian club have a history of poaching Dortmund's top talent for some eye-watering fees, with Mario Gotze, Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski to name a few.
