Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic has responded to speculation surrounding Jude Bellingham’s future.
Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for the England international, whose future is dominating the headlines. Jurgen Klopp and the Reds are well known to be admirers of Bellingham, but it remains to be seen whether a deal will be completed.
Other clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Man United have also been linked with Bellingham in recent months. Although, recent reports suggest it’s Liverpool who are the favourites to sign the midfielder.

With speculation continuing to ramp up around Bellingham’s future, Terzic has now spoken about the recent rumours. He- has played down the gossip, and insisted that he and the midfielder are focused on all things Dortmund.
"I don't think there's a player that's been more speculated about in our squad right now than Jude has been in the last few weeks and months," Terzic is quoted saying by Goal.
"Because he's an outstanding talent; because he is, I think, past that talent status, even though he's only 19.
"He is an extremely important player for us, who has now scored the first goal in a game for us again, who was extremely important in both attack and defence on Sunday.
“We are sure that Jude will play a leading role again in the game in Leverkusen on Sunday."
