Bayern Munich have reportedly joined the race for Birmingham City teenager Jude Bellingham.
The 16-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at St Andrew's, making 36 appearances in all competitions, including 33 in the Championship.
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have both been strongly linked with the midfielder, whose current deal with the Blues is due to expire at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
However, according to Kicker, Bayern are ready to rival both United and BVB for the signature of the teenager, who has contributed four goals and three assists in the second tier of English football this term.
Bellingham was believed to be leaning towards a switch to Old Trafford after visiting the English club's training ground, where he met legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The speculation linking the England Under-17 international with a move to Germany has gathered pace in recent weeks, though, and he could be set to arrive in the Bundesliga for the 2020-21 season.
