United have also entered the race, having come close to signing the England World Cup sensation nearly three years ago. The Red Devils attempted to woo the then-Birmingham prospect with tours of Old Trafford and their Carrington training base, but the player ultimately chose to sign for Dortmund.
Chelsea will not need Bellingham if they sign Fernandez, and especially if they then complete a return for former academy talent Rice in the summer.
