Chelsea set to match any bid for Jude Bellingham this summer

Bellingham joined Dortmund in 2020 from Birmingham and has since proven himself as one of the best young talents in world football.

The 19-year-old has put on countless displays well beyond his years, including on several occasions in the Champions League.

Bellingham is an excellent box-to-box option and would likely fit perfectly into most Premier League midfields.

However, after already selling Erling Haaland to Manchester City this summer, BVB did not want to let another top star go, with Bellingham staying put this year.

But when the 2023 summer transfer window rolls around, there is expected to be a fight to land the former Birmingham man.

Among the clubs interested is Graham Potter’s Chelsea. Both Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are getting on in years and are out of contract in 2023, meaning a player like Bellingham would be an ideal signing for the Blues.

And now, Matt Law of the Telegraph has provided an update on Chelsea's pursuit of Bellingham:

"Chelsea will bid big for Bellingham, but they are not favourites to sign him, he said. "They will match any bid that is made for Bellingham but the move won't just come down to money."
