Man Utd face SECOND Bellingham rejection after ‘bold move’

Manchester United are facing another snub by the Bellingham family, with Borussia Dortmund pushing heavily for Jobe Bellingham.

The Sunderland midfielder is set to be one of the protagonists of this summer as his famous name and sky-high potential make him an exceptionally attractive commodity in the market.

On Saturday, Bellingham will have the chance to help Sunderland return to the Premier League for the first time in almost a decade, but even promotion to the top flight may not keep him at the Stadium of Light.

While he is not desperate to leave, he is well aware of the fact that a host of larger clubs are vying for his signature. Among them are Man Utd, but it seems that just like brother Jude, Jobe could also reject a move to Old Trafford.

Bellingham wants to play in the Champions League next season, so Man Utd will have to beat Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday to stand a chance at signing him. What’s more, Borussia Dortmund are really stepping up their pursuit of the 19-year-old.

Dortmund accelerate Bellingham pursuit

Sky Germany previously revealed that a delegation of Dortmund club bosses recently travelled to England for positive talks with Bellingham’s family.

The German outlet has now added that a new meeting is set to take place in the not-too-distant future, although Bellingham’s full focus is currently on the play-off final at the weekend.

Dortmund believe that their excellent relationship with the Bellingham family could tip the scales in their favour, while their chances have also been boosted by their last-ditch Champions League qualification on the final day of the Bundesliga season.

It won’t be lost on Bellingham that he has been made Dortmund’s absolute priority target ahead of other potential midfield options such as Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka.

TEAMtalk confirms that Dortmund have made a ‘bold move’ to sign the Sunderland star, and the report adds that BVB are ‘confident’ of striking a €30 million deal for the teenager.
