      That raises the possibility of Dortmund selling elsewhere in January to avoid losing him for free.
      There is reported to be interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool.
      The Blues are even claimed to have submitted a contract proposal to Moukoko.
      However, the 18-year-old is ready to join Barcelona, according to Sport.

      He is alleged to have rejected Dortmund’s offer of a new deal and is prioritising a switch to the Nou Camp.
      But Barca have made it clear to him that they will only sign him for free in the summer.

      If Dortmund are resigned to losing Moukoko, they would rather part ways with him in January in order to receive a transfer fee.
      Although signing a new deal at Dortmund has also not yet been ruled out after Moukoko hit out at claims that he turned down an offer.
      Barcelona are claimed to be in advanced negotiations with the teenager, but reportedly need the teenager to compromise on wage demands.
      Moukoko’s representatives are allegedly demanding £6.1million-a-year for the striker, which works out at £117,000-a-week.
      Barca are not willing to match that figure, which could see another team swoop in January. More

      Bellingham, 19, is widely expected to leave Borussia Dortmund for a European powerhouse next summer.
      Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are all battling it out for his signature.
      Dortmund want at least £100m – possibly even more – for the England ace.
      However, according to the Daily Mail, Bellingham’s Dortmund contract allegedly has a shock £60m release clause included.

      And that would make the Three Lions World Cup ace totally affordable for the clubs interested.
      But Chelsea could lose out as a result.
      With United way down in the pecking order, the Blues were ready to rival City and Liverpool to bring Bellingham to the Premier League.
      Should Chelsea trigger that apparent release clause detailed by the Mail, though, it may still not be enough to convince the youngster to head to Stamford Bridge.

      That is because Bellingham and his family are said to prefer a switch to Liverpool.
      He has a strong relationship with Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, as seen at the World Cup, and may be more open to joining the Anfield giants instead.
      Liverpool may well be able to afford a £60m transfer fee, even after securing Cody Gakpo in a shock £37m deal.
      Jurgen Klopp has wanted to sign Bellingham for a year but said on a January switch: “I’m the wrong person to ask about whether Jude is available in January.
      “The January window? We are looking and if something happens, we’ll see. From a sports side, we are always prepared.”

      However, as reported by SunSport, City are confident Bellingham will snub both Liverpool and Champions League holders Real Madrid to join them.
      Etihad sources reckon the prospect of working with Pep Guardiola will swing the Dortmund star’s decision in their favour. More

      He has contributed four goals and three assists in 18 games in all competitions.

      Atletico Madrid are thought to be “braced” for an offer from Graham Potter’s men as owner Todd Boehly bids to improve his squad in the mid-season window.

      Chelsea are keen for the design of the deal to be a short-term loan with an option or obligation to buy in the summer.
      Felix, who has also been linked with a move to Man Utd, would come in as a left-sided forward that can also play on the right – with Kai Havertz believed to be the preferred option through the middle.
      Despite a lack of game time at club level, Felix started four of Portugal’s five matches at the World Cup before they were knocked out by Morocco in the quarter-finals.
      He scored in their opener as they secured a 3-2 win over Ghana, before producing a stunning display in their 6-1 demolition of Switzerland.
