Jude Bellingham to Chelsea transfer: Asking price set, Liverpool advantage, Erling Haaland role.

Chelsea transfer news: The latest on Jude Bellingham's future as the Blues lock horns with some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Even before the summer transfer market opens, Jude Bellingham has become the most sought-after player, with many of Europe's top teams vying for his services. The 19-year-old continues to shine for Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park, and rumors of a transfer have circulated for some time.

Bellingham, whose contract with the German giants expires in 2025, made 32 appearances and contributed directly to 11 goals from midfield in the Bundesliga last season. As a result of his stellar performance, Dortmund finished in second position, behind only Bayern Munich.
The interest in the English international's services has been bolstered by the fact that his stellar form has continued into the new season. The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Real Madrid, at least according to the rumor mill.

 

For this reason, football.london has compiled the most recent developments in the battle to sign Bellingham. The adolescent star's next move might attract as much interest as Erling Haaland's.

Price determined by asking+ 

The Athletic reports that Dortmund would want to retain the midfielder but would need to pay €150 million (£131 million) to do so. According to reports, the German powerhouses have no plans to remove him from his contract.

However, persuading Bellingham to leave Dortmund may be challenging. Ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League match between the German team and Manchester City, he remarked, "Since I initially joined, the club has done a lot for me, made me feel welcome, and provided me with opportunity to improve my game. A lack of regard for the past requires a focus on the future."

Then, when pressed further about if he aspires to go back to England, he said: "To be quite honest, I haven't given much consideration to it. The match versus Man City is crucial. It's insane to even consider doing anything like that."

Anxiety in Chelsea

Bellingham, football is a major focus for Chelsea.

Those in London get it. The Blues followed the English wonder throughout his time in Birmingham City's youth system.

It remains to be seen whether the west London club follows through on their long-term interest. If Liverpool is successful in acquiring Bellingham, the club will get a great midfielder who has a chance to play at an elite level for the next 15 years.

Liverpool has the upper hand in this scenario.

A price has been established, and teams are lining up to make offers, although many feel Liverpool has an edge because to Jurgen Klopp's tactical system. Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson recently told Football Insider: "As a result, he blends in seamlessly with the Liverpool crowd. There is a fantastic connection between his style of play and Klopp's system. Bellingham have exceptional skill on the football field.

"He has a long productive life ahead of him. His stellar reputation precedes him. His charm while on the field is unparalleled. Enjoying seeing him is a joy for me. It's incredible how much he's accomplished for someone so young.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's shown a lot of ingenuity in planning out and executing his professional life and trajectory. Sooner or later, he will go back to the UK. I think he'll end up at Liverpool due of their style of play. His new look is perfect for him."

In Klopp's sights, there is only one

Jurgen Klopp reportedly has the England international as his "number one target," and a transfer to Anfield would make him the club's record acquisition. The Liverpool manager sees the young phenom as a "ideal fit" for his club and hopes to make a move in the summer of 2023.
