As Jude Bellingham nears making a decision over his future, sources have verified to 90min that Borussia Dortmund is preparing its offer to keep the player in Germany for another season.
Although Bellingham’s current contract does not end until 2025, BVB has acknowledged they will sell the player this summer if they cannot come to terms on a new one and he makes it plain he wants to leave.
Dortmund would prefer Bellingham to stay in Germany for another season, and to make that happen, they would offer him the greatest salary in club history if he agreed to a new contract that also had a sizable release clause.
They plan to present their offer in the upcoming weeks with the goal of meeting with Bellingham in March, according to 90min. The club is content to wait for his decision, as we stated last month.
Bellingham, his family, and representatives have received numerous messages from Dortmund in recent months expressing their belief that Bellingham would benefit from staying until 2024, much like Erling Haaland did when he stayed an extra year before leaving for Manchester City, which greatly benefited him. They also mention Jadon Sancho’s difficulties at Manchester United, where they feel he left the team too soon.
Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are all making arguments to convince Bellingham that they should be his next move, giving him a variety of options to think over.

With Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid all putting up their claims as to why they should be Bellingham’s next move, he has a variety of options to think over.
Bellingham’s party has listened to all three clubs’ arguments, which they each think to be persuasive, but they haven’t yet indicated where Bellingham’s future may lay. He could possibly continue to reside in Germany.
According to sources close to all three clubs, they are still confident that they can sign the player, and nothing has changed recently in that regard as they wait for his decision.
The Bellingham camp has also made it clearly clear that the teen’s next move will not be driven by money and that the project that most attracted to him will win him over rather than just the largest offer.
While Bellingham would evaluate any and all offers, 90min understands that potential interest from clubs like Chelesa, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Paris Saint-Germain has not yet resulted in negotiations.
EXCLUSIVE: Dietmar Hamann doubles down on Thiago opinion as ‘impossible’ Liverpool problem emerges
Modern football is under pressure, especially for managers. Even a long career in the dugout doesn’t make things any easier, as Jurgen Klopp is starting to realize.
Liverpool runs the risk of not just missing out on the Champions League for the upcoming season, but also of not even being in Europe. At the beginning of the campaign, that was an inconceivable scenario, but now it appears to be a terrifying possibility.
The weekend loss to Wolves was the most recent in a string of outcomes that will worry everyone associated with the team. owners, the manager, the players, and the supporters.
During his post-Molineux press conference, Klopp took issue with one query. This, combined with Liverpool’s recent performance, has reinforced claims that the manager is going through his most challenging stretch at Anfield.
Didi Hamann, a former midfielder for Liverpool, undoubtedly concurs with that assertion. The German stated to the ECHO, via Freebets.com, why he believes his fellow countryman is starting to feel the heat in the dugout.
“If you observe Klopp’s reactions, I believe that he is under pressure at times,” “said he. “The bar has been raised, and it’s also important to note that he led this team for four or five years at the peak of their abilities.
“What they have accomplished is incredible; they set the bar very high last season when they came within a game and a half of winning all four trophies.
“I believe it is typical when a team reaches the conclusion of a cycle that it eventually drops off.
“The problems will be whether Klopp will have the money to spend, whether the owners will give him the money, and whether five or six players are enough, because they will also have to let go of quite a few players, because I think they need five or six players in the summer.
“He is therefore under strain, and I believe he feels it. The club won’t fire him, in my opinion, due of his recent successes.
“But it’s absolutely not gratifying, for him and for the hierarchy, when you sit 10th in the table and when you surrender for the first time in 30 years three times in three consecutive away matches.”
In a news conference early in the season, Klopp refuted claims that he had been “too devoted” to some of his players, which had been made by various media outlets. Hamann supported Klopp in this regard and clarified why the Liverpool manager had very few options due to a shortage of transfer finances.
Hamann remarked, “Well, if you don’t have any money to spend, then your hand is compelled to be faithful.
We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, so I wouldn’t criticize Klopp for being overly loyal. The owners were asked if he wanted new players, but they declined since they lacked the funds and indicated they would do it in the summer rather than right away.
“Loyalty doesn’t always have to be a bad thing, and sometimes you have to be loyal because you have to play the players who are there if you can’t bring in new players.”
Following their weekend loss to Wolves, the Reds are now on a terrible run of play. With no victories in their previous four Premier League games, this outcome places Liverpool in 10th place overall.
Hamann played for Liverpool for a total of 283 games. The 49-year-old has discussed what he believes is wrong with the current club and why he believes it is so “simple” for other teams to defeat them.
Things definitely appear to be getting worse, according to Hamann.
“Other teams treat Liverpool the same way they used to. Liverpool used to intimidate opposition teams because they were so relentless in their effort, game management, not blowing many opportunities, and clinical in their execution.
“At the moment, it’s just too simple to make things difficult for Liverpool. They don’t seem to have any responses whether you are physically aggressive with them or if you disagree with them. And with games against Everton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Manchester United coming up, that’s a terrifying notion. Thus, it doesn’t appear good.
