Football rumours: Jude Bellingham could remain in
By PA Sport Staff
England midfielder Jude Bellingham could stay at Borussia Dortmund if the right deal does not come for the teenager to return to England, preferring to re-assess his future in 2024 rather than make a rushed move, according to the Times.
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler believes the Reds’ decision to not spend their “entire transfer budget” on Bellingham is a good one as his g would not solve the club’s midfield issues, he writes in the Mirror.
Chelsea could be a step closer to a new manager following the sacking of Graham Potter in early April, with the club meeting with former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, according to the Times.
Manchester United’s search for a forward has stretched to Naples with Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen linked to the club, but the 24-year-old Napoli star is reportedly happy in Italy, the Manchester Evening News reported.
