Borussia Dortmund move to up Bellingham wages to ward off Liverpool

Borussia Dortmund have a plan to try to keep Jude Bellingham at the club this summer.

The German giants do not want to lose the all-action English midfielder to a bigger club, with Liverpool and Real Madrid keen.

Despite Bellingham being likely to fetch them up to £100 million if there is a bidding war, Dortmund want to hang onto him for at least one more season.

Per BILD in Germany, they will offer Bellingham a 150 percent increase in his wages.

He will also get a lengthier contract, making him the highest paid player in the club's history.

In addition, there will be a £131 million release clause in the deal, should a club want to prize him away in the future.
