Borussia Dortmund give Jude Bellingham transfer update amid Manchester United and Man City links

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has reiterated that there is no offer on the table for Jude Bellingham amid suggestions he is close to signing for Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old has been on the radar of both Manchester United and Manchester City as well as Liverpool. As things stand, reports state he is close to agreeing a deal to move to the Bernabeu.

However, Kehl has insisted no agreement has been reached and Dortmund want to retain his services. He also denied that a fee has been set for clubs to meet if they want to sign the Englishman.

"We will try everything [to keep Jude Bellingham] because we're very ambitious, we want to keep the best players in our squad in this team and our club to perform," Kehl told ESPN. "But to come back to Jude, there's nothing to decide at the moment, there's nothing on the table, no offer, no news.

"Jude is very focused on the next game, next weeks then we will decide how it develops. I know how the business is. In the end, you have to react to that specific situation.

"There's no guidelines, no description on what to do and not to do. We have to take everything into consideration, we are still coming [back] from Covid, €150m is a lot of money [that] we lost in the past. I fight for the team, [fight for] the best players and Jude is one of them, we'll see how this works."
