Chelsea have been told they hold a key advantage over Liverpool in the transfer race to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund next summer.
The Blues are set to face competition from the Reds, Manchester City and Real Madrid as Dortmund prepare themselves for a flurry of huge offers for their prized asset. Bellingham is considered to be one of the most talented youngsters in the world and could demand a huge transfer fee which would break Jack Grealish's £100million move to City which is the current British record.
Madrid are thought to be leading the race for the 19-year-old having entered 'advanced talks' over a move with club president Florentino Perez ready to pay an £87million fee. Dortmund had slapped a price tag of £131million on the England international over the summer transfer window but could be forced to sell next summer despite Bellingham's contract running until 2026.
