Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham 'prefers Dortmund over Bayern Munich'

Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham has reportedly rejected the chance to sign for Bayern Munich.

Having established himself as a first-team player for Blues this season, the 16-year-old is expected to move to a bigger club during the next transfer window.

Manchester United are known to be keen after holding talks with the player's parents at Carrington earlier this month.

A switch to Germany is also a possibility, with the teenager aware of how other prospects have flourished in the Bundesliga.

However, according to Bild, Bellingham is only interested in signing for Borussia Dortmund should he agree a deal with a German club.

Birmingham will attempt to recoup in the region of £30m for the midfielder.
