‘Every club will want him’ – Jude Bellingham tipped to break Jack Grealish’s Premier League transfer record as Liverpool, Manchester United, Man City and Chelsea chase £150million-rated England teen
Tony Cascarino believes Jude Bellingham could break the Premier League transfer record if the in-demand teen enjoys a successful World Cup in Qatar.
The Borussia Dortmund starlet is regarded as one of the top young stars in world football having already made 100 appearances for the German giants, as well as 17 senior international caps.

At 19 years of age, the midfielder is already regarded as one of the best in his position on the continent, suggesting that he could be ready for a move to one of Europe's giants.
Reports from have suggested Manchester City fancy their chances of striking a deal to sign the player as Pep Guardiola plots a reunion with Bellingham and ex-Dortmund star Erling Haaland.
Liverpool are long-time admirers of the midfielder, while Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen, but City will surely be leading the chase due to the financial firepower they have at their disposal.
While reports have suggested that Bellingham could be available for as little as £83million if the fee is paid up front, Cascarino believes the teenager could be worth almost double that.
It means any English club wanting to sign the former Brimingham City youngster would likely need to break the Premier League's transfer record, previously set by City's £100m deal to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, if they're to get a transfer over the line.
Speaking on talkSPORT Weekend Breakfast, Cascarino said: "He’s the most exciting one out there and he seems to have all of the attributes to be a terrific player in the way that Liverpool play.

"There will be ten of them!
“It won’t be like one club and they’re the only club chasing Jude Bellingham, it’ll be a lot.
“It's already been said he's worth £150million, but if he goes to the World Cup and he ends up shining and playing brilliantly, Borussia Dortmund will demand more.”
