Chelsea transfer blow as Borussia Dortmund ‘will extend Jude Bellingham’s contract until 2025’ later this month

BORUSSIA DORTMUND are reportedly set to extend Jude Bellingham’s contract to 2025, in a blow to rumoured potential suitors Chelsea.

The former Birmingham teen enjoyed a stunning debut season in Germany, earning a place in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man England squad for Euro 2020.

His amazing form has seen him receive interest from the likes of Chelsea.

But Dortmund are set to make completing a deal a lot more difficult.

Bellingham, 17, penned a deal to 2023 with the German giants last year.

But his contract reportedly contains an option for Dortmund to two extra years upon his 18th birthday.

According to Bild, they will exercise their option to extend the deal to 2025 when Bellingham turns 18 later this month.

The midfielder burst onto the scene with boyhood club Birmingham last year.

He made 44 appearances as a 16-year-old for the Championship side, drawing interest from the likes of Manchester United.

After a prolonged pursuit, Bellingham opted to join Dortmund for around £25million last summer.
