Borussia Dortmund are reportedly preparing a new contract for teenage starlet Jude Bellingham in an effort to fend off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The former Birmingham City youngster enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with the Black and Yellow last season and was rewarded with a place in England's Euro 2020 squad.
Having contributed four goals and four assists in 46 games for Dortmund last term, Bellingham has understandably been linked with English heavyweights such as Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks.
Bellingham scoped out Man United's Carrington training complex before deciding on a move to Dortmund last summer, and German outlet Bild claims that the Bundesliga giants are now readying a fresh contract offer for the 17-year-old.
Bellingham's existing deal at Dortmund runs for another two years, but the Black and Yellow reportedly want to tie him down until 2025 in a huge blow to potential suitors.
After coming on as a second-half substitute for England against Croatia during their 1-0 Euro 2020 win on Sunday, Bellingham broke the record for the youngest player to feature at the tournament aged just 17 years and 349 days.
