England midfielder Bellingham has been subject of high-profile interest form numerous clubs across Europe, with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool thought to be among the front-runners for the youngster’s services.

According to The Sun, Dortmund are prepared to make Bellingham their highest paid player, on £180,000 a week on a five-year contract. 

However, the youngster is expected to turn down the offer as he seeks to test himself at the highest levels after three years in Germany. 

Dortmund will not get in Bellingham’s way as long as he gives the club notice to lineup a replacement in the summer. 

Earlier this week, Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic urged the midfielder and other youngsters at the club to stay.

‘I believe that we need to work on keeping these young guys one year longer,’ Terzic told The Athletic. 

‘In my first season [as interim manager], I was able to put Jadon, Jude and Erling on the pitch, but that was their only year together.

‘That was also partly due to COVID-19 and empty stadiums, there were financial considerations. 

‘But if we can get to the point where it’s two or three years of such a trio, maybe we can break the mould.’

Bellingham’s current contract runs until the end of the 2024-25 season, but it has grown increasingly likely that he is on his way out of Signal Iduna Park. 

The midfielder has nine goals and three assists in 22 club appearances – captaining the side at times along the way – and he also scored England’s opening World Cup goal against Iran in Qatar. 

Bellingham will return to action for the first time since impressing at the World Cup this weekend, when the Bundesliga resumes following their extended winter break.
