Chelsea are among the clubs that are being linked with Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

Meanwhile, according to a new report by Transfermkt, Jude Bellingham’s valuation has gone up further.

The 19-year-old is said to be more valuable than Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

The 19-year-old, who played a starring role for England during the recently concluded international break, is rated as the fifth most-valuable player in the world by the outlet.

The latest figures released by Transfermarkt, show that Bellingham is valued at £81million – second in the Premier League only to Erling Haaland, and above midfield stars, Kevin de Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes, with both players valued at £76.5m.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe is ranked as the most valuable player in the world at £144m, with Haaland second at £135m, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior third at £108m and Barcelona’s Pedri rated as the same value as Bellingham.

This comes ahead of what is set to be many months of speculation over the former Birmingham City ace’s future in Germany, with as many as five top clubs ready to fight it out.

And while Transfermkt place his value at £81 million, Borussia Dortmund are likely to demand more for the England international, with the German club said to have placed an asking price of £130 million on the teenager. 

It’s going to be a tough battle for Bellingham, as Real Madrid have joined the race for his signature.

Other teams reportedly interested in Bellingham include Liverpool, Manchester United, while Manchester City are also said to be monitoring the situation.
