Manchester United target Jude Bellingham is reportedly weighing up his options after four clubs are said to have met Birmingham City's asking price for the teenager.

Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham is reportedly considering his options for next season after four clubs are said to have met the teenager's asking price.

Bellingham has become one of the most sought-after prospects in English football following his performances in the Championship this season, having registered four goals and three assists in England's second tier.

The 16-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a switch to Old Trafford in recent weeks, but according to The Mirror, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will face stiff competition for the midfielder's signature.

As well as United, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are all said to be in the race to land the Englishman, after Birmingham conceded that they will have to cash in on Bellingham at the end of the season.

All four clubs have apparently met Birmingham's reported asking price of £15m, which could supposedly rise to £30m with performance-related add-ons.

Bellingham's current deal with the Championship outfit will expire at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
