A big decision awaits for Jude Bellingham once he returns to Germany from the World Cup.
Hans-Joachim Watzke has already made clear that the club will establish the truth around his future very quickly after the tournament draws to a close.

“What do you think about him staying over there for a bit longer and developing a bit more?” the former Manchester United star was quoted as saying by the Echo. “He has been unbelievable. Do you think he would look at Haaland, he has been a sensation since he has come, but Sancho has been a really difficult one. Will he be looking at both situations and thinking: ‘What is best for me?'”
The 22-year-old forward has struggled somewhat since his switch to the Premier League, rather unlike Erling Haaland who has excelled under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.
