Birmingham City boss Pep Clotet claims that Manchester United-linked Jude Bellingham is yet to make a decision on his future.

Birmingham City boss Pep Clotet has claimed that Jude Bellingham is yet to make a decision on his future.

The 16-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, but recent reports have placed Borussia Dortmund as the favourites to sign him during this summer's transfer window.

Clotet has claimed that the teenager has not yet made a decision on which club he will join this summer, with Bayern Munich also believed to be in the race for his signature.

"He has not indicated to me that he has made a decision. It's difficult for me to say what would be best for him because it is a very personal opinion," Clotet told reporters.

"I would love for him to keep being here at Birmingham, if not Birmingham as close as possible to the English game because I love the English game.

"I understand as well there are opportunities abroad with the development of the player which is something that must be considered as well.

"The only thing I would say is that whatever he picks or wherever he goes he takes the same ambition he has here, the same pride, the same focus on being better and helping the team."

Bellingham, whose contract at St Andrew's is due to expire next summer, has made 36 appearances for Birmingham during the 2019-20 campaign, including 33 in the Championship.
