Jude Bellingham has the luxury of choosing his next club ahead of his anticipated summer departure from Borussia Dortmund, but Liverpool and Manchester City will need to be careful of disappointment.

It is well known that Bellingham is eager to transfer to a better club, and Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, PSG, and Manchester City are all vying for his signature on the contract.
