Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, is reportedly looking to invite Bellingham and his father to his office to discuss a new deal, which may include a mega wage increase to £13 million per season and a release clause of £131 million. Despite Dortmund's efforts, a summer exit for Bellingham is considered more likely, given the strong interest from other big clubs.

According to Bild, Borussia Dortmund may offer Jude Bellingham a substantial wage increase of up to £13 million per season, making him the highest-paid player in the club's history. The new contract is also said to include a release clause worth £131 million.
