It is also stated that Erik ten Hag himself is also a big fan of the teenager and would really appreciate the prospect of fitting him into his plans for the next campaign. However, the Red Devils are aware that Jude Bellingham will not come for cheap – with Dortmund likely to ask for over £130 million to let him go in the summer.
Moreover, Romano also adds that the entire situation around the United ownership is also affecting their plans for future transfer deals. Because of the uncertainty over whether the Glazers will even be there after the season is over, the Manchester side’s decision-makers are not able to finalise how much can be spent on new signings in the summer window.
Bellingham Enjoying Brilliant Season With Dortmund
The 19-year-old midfielder is already regarded as one of the best midfielders in world football at such a young age and is already a solidified England national team player too. He scored one goal and provided an assist for the Three Lions at the World Cup, introducing himself to the world stage in style.

The Englishman has scored ten goals and provided six assists in just 30 appearances, all while playing from central midfield. Bellingham has a number of clubs interested in signing him alongside United, like Liverpool and Real Madrid, as he aims to build on his numbers having scored 20 goals and provided 24 assists in 120 appearances for the Bundesliga side in his career.
