Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic has insisted any talk of Jude Bellingham's future will be addressed in the summer amid interest from Manchester United and Manchester City.
Speculation over Bellingham remains at fever pitch following his eye-catching development at Dortmund and the teenager was also a shining light for England at the World Cup finals in Qatar this winter. He is now primed and ready for another chance to wow UK viewers.
Bellingham, 19, and his Dortmund teammates meet Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday night (8pm) while holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Germany. But their impending return leg has not been the sole talking point.

During his pre-match press conference, Terzic was pressed on what might be next for Bellingham, with United having initially wanted the generational talent before he signed for Dortmund three years ago. City are also said to be keen on the teenager.
Terzic said: "With all the respect for Jude and his performance, we have been answering this question since he joined. He chose to join us because he knows this can be the perfect step for him and I think we've proven that both ways.
"He's helping us a lot. But I also think we, as a club, are helping him and his career as well."
Terzic added: "We're really happy and delighted that he's part of our team, he's one of our leaders aged 19 and he stepped through to the English national team as our player. This is something we're really happy with.
"That's going to be a topic for his future. But our future now is that we're going to face a really good opponent in Chelsea FC and so we will need him in a good way."
