      Man Utd, Liverpool and Co in huge Jude Bellingham transfer boost with England star set to turn down MEGA Dortmund deal

      by

      JUDE BELLINGHAM is expected to turn down a double-your-money new deal when he meets Borussia Dortmund bosses this week.And that will officially kickstart the £100million-plus auction for the 19-year-old England midfielder, who is wanted by Liverpool, Real Madrid and both Manchester clubs.

      Dortmund have a sit down planned with Bellingham over the next couple of days and want a swift answer on his plans.
      It is understood the Bundesliga outfit are prepared to make him the highest-paid player at the club, on around £180,000 a week, for a further five years.
      Yet Dortmund are equally aware Bellingham wants to test himself at a higher level, following his eye-catching performances at the World Cup.
      SunSport revealed this month that would-be buyers have been told they must pay 75 per cent of any total fee up front — with his former club Birmingham also due a cut.

      They are happy not to stand in Bellingham’s way if he does insist he wants to go, as long as he gives them an answer which gives them time to line up a replacement.
      Bellingham can expect to receive offers of around £300,000-a-week wages but the grounded teenager has always insisted will put his football progression before finances.
      That has raised hopes at Anfield that he will join them, with reports his father Mark has been talking to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
      The Merseysiders know they will be blown out of the water if it does come down to a bidding war.

      Meanwhile, Dortmund forward Youssoufa Moukoko signed a two-year contract extension with the club to 2026 yesterday after a long negotiation for the teenager to remain.
      The 18-year-old, who became Germany’s youngest World Cup player when he featured at the tournament in Qatar in November, has long been a target for several major European clubs.
      Moukoko enjoyed a strong first half to the season that led to his Germany call-up, having scored six Bundesliga goals and set up another three.
      Dortmund sports director Sebastian Kehl said: “Youssoufa is an exceptional player we have trained and in who we still see great development potential.”
      Moukoko, who has been at Dortmund since the age of 12, is considered among the most-gifted forwards of his generation, having become the youngest  Bundesliga scorer at 16.
      He said: “It is no secret that I feel well at Dortmund.
      “I played youth football here, took my first steps in professional football and now I am ready to take the next step in my development together with the club.” More

      Zaha then received treatment on what could possibly have been a pulled hamstring during the match.
      After some help, the 30-year-old re-entered the fray.
      However, he did not last long as he went down again in the 63rd minute and was replaced by Michael Olise.
      Zaha made his way gingerly around the pitch with the physio applauding the fans as he made his way to get some treatment.

      The club are on the lookout for potential replacements for him as his contract at Selhurst park expires at the end of the season. More
