Will Jude Bellingham Sign Contract Extension? Borussia Dortmund Director Responds
News 18Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said on Monday he hopes midfielder Jude Bellingham will stay with the side but confirmed there have been no extension talks with the teenager. “We need Jude to achieve our goals this season and we’re glad he is focused so much on football and has no other issues on his mind at the moment.” Bellingham, who captained the side in their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday, continues to impress in Dortmund and is rumoured to have attracted the interest of a number of large European clubs. Kehl told Bild discussions were ongoing regarding contract extensions to co-captains Mats Hummels and Marco Reus, along with in-form midfielder Julian Brandt. Kehl however said midfielder Mo Dahoud’s contract, which is currently in its final six months, would not be extended.
