Borussia Dortmund preparing to miss out on Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi?

Borussia Dortmund have allegedly acknowledged that Michy Batshuayi's recent form may not benefit the club in the long run.

Last month, Dortmund secured a loan deal for the Chelsea forward, who has gone on to net five times in his first six appearances for the German giants.

Dortmund are keen to push through a permanent deal for the Belgian international but according to the London Evening Standard, the Bundesliga side are aware that more clubs are beginning to consider approaches for the 24-year-old in the summer.

The report suggests that Chelsea are currently unlikely to keep Batshuayi at Stamford Bridge, despite the striker showing his potential and still possessing a contract in West London until 2021.

Chelsea have struggled for goals from their frontmen this season, but the Blues will seemingly be happy at the chances of a bidding war taking place for a player who made just four starts in 18 months in the Premier League before leaving for Dortmund.
