Borussia Dortmund are making a ‘spectacular plan’ to offer Jude Bellingham a ‘historic’ deal in a last-ditch attempt to persuade him to stay, according to reports in Germany.
The 19-year-old English superstar is one of the most promising players in world football, with European giants like Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid interested in signing him.
And as reported by picturethe German outfit are preparing a bid that could see Bellingham become the highest-paid player in the club’s history on a £13.25m-a-year contract, in a desperate bid to keep him.
Borussia Dortmund are making a ‘spectacular plan’ to keep Jude Bellingham, reports claim
Borussia Dortmund club bosses ‘are willing to offer him a historic contract to persuade him to stay’
Talks with Bellingham adviser Mark Bennett are said to be planned for March at the latest.
Club bosses CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and sporting director Sebastian Kehl are ‘fighting’ to convince him to stay at Dortmund for another year.
Bellingham’s current contract expires in the summer of 2025, and Watzke and Kehl expect the teenager to extend his contract through 2026.
Star midfielder Bellingham, 19, is wanted by Man City, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
That could see it eclipse the salary earned by captain Marco Reus, 33, who has made 368 appearances in all competitions for the blacks and yellows.
It is almost certain that the international with 22 caps would earn much more in England or Spain than at Signal Iduna Park.
But if Bellingham leaves the club, this summer or later, Dortmund are likely to take solace in the potential £130m fee they would receive.
