Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl says he expects Jude Bellingham's future to be sorted out soon.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been linked with Europe's biggest clubs, with Real Madrid said to be close to completing a deal to sign him.

Asked if there is an offer on the table, Kehl told Bild:

"I assume that there will be movement in the personnel matter now. We know that the player is of great value to us and that he has a current contract without a release clause.

"Everything else will become clear in the near future. We are preparing for different scenarios."

Bellingham has played for Dortmund since 2020. His contract expires in 2025.
