Chelsea 'clear plan' scuppers Jude Bellingham transfer hope as Liverpool preference outlined

Chelsea look to have taken a major blow in their transfer pursuit of Jude Bellingham this summer. The teenager is set to be the centre of one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer with plenty of Europe's big clubs keen to sign him.

Bellingham joined Borussia Dortmund from boyhood club Birmingham City in 2020 and has become one of the best box-to-box midfielders in Europe. After shining at the Qatar World Cup, his signature is expected to be on top of many club’s list at the end of the season and it's said that the Blues are joined by Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid in the line of potential suitors.

It's expected that at least £100million will be demanded by the German giants in the summer, with him entering the final two years of his deal. And despite breaking their club record for Enzo Fernandez in January, Chelsea have continued to be linked with the England international.
