Dortmund are also hoping he will commit his future to the club for one more season – with his contract running until 2025.

But he is expected to leave at the end of the campaign and Ligue 1 champions PSG are now understood to have joined the race for the Three Lions superstar.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Bellingham is a “strong target” for the French side.

Speaking about the teenager during the World Cup, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi told Sky Sports: “Bellingham is an amazing player, what a player.

“England are lucky to have him, to be honest. He’s one of the best players in the tournament.

“He’s amazing, in his first World Cup he’s calm, relaxed and confident.”

He continued: “Everyone wants him, I’m not going to hide it.

“He’s at his club and [we have] respect, so if we want to talk to him, we’ll have to talk to the club first.”

Bellingham joined Dortmund from Birmingham in 2020 and has thrived in the Bundesliga.

He has registered 20 goals and 25 assists in 126 games, including ten goals and seven assists this season.

Any club wanting to land him would likely need to fork out more than £100million.

Liverpool, and in particular Jurgen Klopp, are long-term admirers of the 24-cap international.

However, it is unlikely they will be able to compete financially with the likes of Real Madrid, Man City and PSG.
