Indeed, Pep Guardiola’s side are allegedly having to contend with rivals Manchester United and Liverpool for Bellingham’s signature, as well as Chelsea and leading clubs from Europe (Football Insider).
The 19-year-old, going by his scintillating performances for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, looks set to be one of football’s hottest commodities over these next ten months leading up to next summer’s transfer window.
The Latest: Berger shares Bellingham to Man City latest…
Speaking to Sport 1, their chief reporter Berger has shared what he knows on Bellingham’s possible move to Eastlands.
He explained:
“There are many clubs that are already working on him.
“Liverpool, Real, City, Chelsea, United – everyone threw their hats in the ring. But it’s not at all ready to talk about anything concrete.”
The Verdict: Get it done…
The in-demand sensation, who is already a ‘superstar’ according to ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney, will be highly sought-after but we believe City have a fair few advantages in the race.
Guardiola’s side boast the financial firepower and pull of a currently very successful club, not to mention Bellingham’s former teammate, Erling Haaland, could perhaps convince the teenager to make an Eastlands move given his early success in the northwest.
As per WhoScored, signing him would certainly be worth the effort given he currently ranks as Dortmund’s best-performing player by average match rating.
