Borussia Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl  has given an update on the future of Chelsea transfer target Jude Bellingham.

According to Kehl, despite reports of numerous interest in the 19 year old midfielder, Borussia Dortmund are yet to receive an offer for his transfer.

Bellingham is valued at around €222million by CIES Football Observatory, which makes him the most valuable player in the world.

Kehl told Kicker: “Jude has made an incredible development here. With the way he plays football, his fighting spirit and his commitment, he has become a real Borussia player who identifies very much with BVB.

“I can’t say today if and when that will be the case with Jude (leaving Borussia Dortmund), and from a purely sporting point of view I would be stupid to want to give up Jude Bellingham. We’ll talk to him and his parents in due course.”

“There is currently no pressure. Jude wants to concentrate fully on football,” Kehl adds. “And by the way, there are no offers at all.”
