Borussia Dortmund have allegedly acknowledged that Michy Batshuayi's recent form may not benefit the club in the long run.

Last month, Dortmund secured a loan deal for the Chelsea forward, who has gone on to net five times in his first six appearances for the German giants.

Dortmund are keen to push through a permanent deal for the Belgian international but according to the London Evening Standard, the Bundesliga side are aware that more clubs are beginning to consider approaches for the 24-year-old in the summer.

The report suggests that Chelsea are currently unlikely to keep Batshuayi at Stamford Bridge, despite the striker showing his potential and still possessing a contract in West London until 2021.

Chelsea have struggled for goals from their frontmen this season, but the Blues will seemingly be happy at the chances of a bidding war taking place for a player who made just four starts in 18 months in the Premier League before leaving for Dortmund.
