The 19-year-old is looking to leave the Bundesliga giants next summer. However, the midfielder has rejected the idea of moving to Graham Potter’s team or the Parisians.

Bellingham made his way to BVB in the summer of 2020 from Birmingham City. The 19-year-old immediately carved his place in the Signal Iduna Park side’s starting lineup.

Subsequently, the midfielder has gone from strength to strength during his time in Germany. The England international has taken his game to a whole new level this season.

Bellingham has been handed the captain’s armband on a few occasions by Edin Terzic. The 19-year-old was also a pivotal player for the Three Lions in the 2022 World Cup.

Chelsea recently splashed the cash on Enzo Fernandez. On the other hand, PSG signed several players to bolster their engine room in the summer of 2022, like Renato Sanches, Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler.

As for United, Christian Eriksen was signed on a free transfer last summer, while Casemiro was bought from Real Madrid. The two have made an immediate impact in Manchester.
