Chelsea Eyeing €120m-Rated Bundesliga Star

Chelsea is already attempting to ensure the future of their midfield, with contracts for both Jorginho and Ngolo Kante expiring at the end of the season.

Jude Bellingham is widely regarded as one of the most exciting possibilities in the world of football. In the center of the Bavarian midfield, the Borussia Dortmund star has continued to lead the charge. Among the several clubs interested in his services, Chelsea is said to have gained an unexpected lead in the fight for his signature.

According to Bild via Sport Witness, the Blues are willing to make a bid of around £90 million to sign Bellingham. The 19-year-old English international is reported to be Graham Potter’s “dream player” in midfield.

Chelsea and Dortmund are said to have spoken, but the Germans are reportedly holding out for closer to £105 million (€120 million). Jorginho and N’Golo Kante’s contracts expire at the conclusion of the season, and both have been linked with moves away next year.

The London club, who are also interested in West Ham’s Declan Rice, have now prioritized landing Bellingham over his Three Lions teammate.

However, they will almost certainly face competition for his signature from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Bellingham is a candidate for the 2022 Kopa Trophy and has already scored four goals in four outings for Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
