Chelsea may have received a blow in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. The England international is listed on most of Europe's top sides transfer list having impressed in the Bundesliga for two seasons.
After becoming a regular at Dortmund and for Gareth Southate's England side, Bellingham will reportedly cost as much as £150million. A deal of that magnitude would see him smash the British transfer record set in January by Todd Boehly with the signing of Enzo Fernandez for £106m.
Where Bellingham will be playing his football next season remains unclear, for now. The Blues are joined by the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United in the race to land the 19-year-old, with the battle set to play-out for the majority of the summer transfer window.
