Manchester United and Man City told it would be 'stupid' to launch bid for Jude Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund would be "stupid" to want to sell generational England midfielder Jude Bellingham amid heavy interest from top European sides including Manchester United and Manchester City.

That's the assessment from Dortmund sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, who says the Bundesliga club have yet to receive an offer for the teenager. Bellingham, 19, was a shining light for his country at the recent World Cup and his signature remains hot property coming up three years on from his move to Signal Iduna Park.

United were in the race for Bellingham at that time and are tipped to come calling for him, once again, during the summer window amid an ongoing pursuit to sign Frenkie de Jong. City are also interested in Bellingham along with Liverpool FC and Spanish giants Real Madrid.
