Paris Saint-Germain will attempt to beat Liverpool to the signature of Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham next summer, according to a report.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly firmly in the race for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The 19-year-old is widely expected to leave BVB next year, with a number of leading European clubs believed to be keen to sign him ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are all said to be admirers of the England international, but the strongest interest is currently thought to be arriving from Liverpool.

A recent report claimed that the Reds were becoming increasingly confident of signing the teenager, with a deal potentially being agreed during the January transfer window.

However, according to El Nacional, PSG are determined to beat Jurgen Klopp's side to the signature of the highly-rated youngster in the summer of 2023.

Bellingham has been in strong form for Dortmund since his arrival from Birmingham City in 2020, contributing 10 goals and 18 assists in 90 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Last term, the midfielder scored six goals and provided 14 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for his German club, including three goals and eight assists in 32 Bundesliga outings.

Dortmund are unlikely to let the teenager leave for anything under €100m (£85m), while there have been claims that their asking price could rise if he enjoys another strong campaign.

Bellingham was also involved for England during their UEFA Nations League fixtures in June, and he will be in the squad for the 2022 World Cup providing that he is fit and available.

PSG have been relatively quiet during this summer's transfer window, but they have boosted their squad with the arrivals of Vitinha, Nordi Mukiele and Hugo Ekitike, while Nuno Mendes's loan move has been made permanent.

There has been speculation surrounding the future of Neymar this summer, but the Brazil international is widely expected to remain in the French capital beyond the deadline.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe rejected the chance to join Real Madrid on a free transfer in favour of signing a new and lucrative contract with the French champions.

A recent report claimed that Man United would be in a strong position to sign Bellingham next summer if they managed to secure a return to the Champions League for the 2023-24 campaign.

The midfielder came through the youth system at Birmingham before making his first-team debut in 2019, representing the club on 44 occasions in all competitions in 2019-20.
