According to 90min, there’s a host of elite sides that have their eyes on the 19-year-old rising star.
It is understood Premier League teams Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are “very much keen” on the England international. Also, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus have registered interest in the Dortmund midfielder, who has not yet made a decision on his future.

90min says Dortmund still hope they can convince Bellingham to stay with them beyond 2023.
Jude Bellingham interest
Chelsea may reportedly be prepared to meet Dortmund’s demands over a potential Bellingham transfer, but this has the makings of being an incredible transfer saga between the world’s elite clubs.
Described as “exceptional” by Pep Guardiola, it’s no surprise that all the big boys are linked with him.
Dortmund’s box-to-box central midfielder is now consistently turning in mature performances for his club on both a domestic and European stage.
The way he’s started to become a standout figure for Gareth Southgate’s England side will excite Premier League audiences, too.
Chelsea reportedly have eyes for both Bellingham and West Ham’s Declan Rice, which could set up the midfield at Stamford Bridge for the next decade. The duo already play together on the international stage, so bringing them together next summer would be mammoth.
As it stands, there’s still a lot of talent in the centre of the park for the Blues to use.
Let’s see what kind of tune Potter can get from the likes of Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher and N’Golo Kante.
