Transfer News: Manchester City to rival Liverpool for Jude Bellingham
According to Daily Mail, Premier League rivals Manchester City are set to battle it out with Liverpool next summer to sign talented Borussia Dortmund midfield starlet Jude Bellingham with many other clubs also interested in the prodigy.
It is being claimed that Pep Guardiola’s team are keen on procuring a marquee signing in central midfield next season and could enter the race to sign the player Liverpool are keen on bringing to Anfield.
That Jude Bellingham is considered one of the biggest prospects in world football will not be an understatement. Such is the talent that the former Birmingham City man possesses that it will not be long before he makes his next big move.
Bellingham certainly did not do any harm to his chances after an impressive display against Pep Guardiola’s team last night in a match that the German giants ended up losing 2-1 despite the Englishman’s goal.
The teenage starlet joined Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020. When he left for Germany, Birmingham went on to retire his shirt which showed how highly rated they thought of the English midfield ace.
It is sometimes really hard to believe that Bellingham is just 19 years old. The Dortmund midfielder shows maturity beyond his age whilst playing on the pitch and there is no doubt that he will have a great future in the game.
It is not often that you see a highly-rated English talent plays outside England for too long. It happened with Jadon Sancho very recently when Manchester United tempted him back to England.
It is only a matter of time to see Bellingham back in the Premier League playing for one of the big boys. I will be very surprised if the 19-year-old stays at Dortmund beyond this season considering the kind of attention he attracts.
