Bellingham convinced of Birmingham sale; will choose between BVB and Man Utd

Jude Bellingham expects to leave Birmingham City this summer.

The Manchester Evening News says the midfielder will choose between Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham, who is officially represented by his father, is anticipating a transfer this summer, though Dortmund would appear to be the current favourites with Birmingham forced to sell.

It's understood that there was interest from Chelsea, but that it's now a two-horse race for the teenage midfielder's signature, which could cost around £30million.

The 16-year-old midfielder wants first-team football, which he's had at Birmingham this season, and whichever club lands his signature could choose to loan him back to the midlands club.

Bellingham played 70 minutes in Birmingham in their goalless draw with Championship promotion favourites West Brom at the weekend. He's now played 36 first-team games in all competitions for the Blues before his 17th birthday, which is next week.
