Another talented midfielder linked with Manchester City as next summer’s transfer priority is taking shape

Manchester City in pole position for Jude Bellingham

Manchester City are reportedly in pole position to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham next summer. The 19-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe and has been linked with a move to several top clubs, including Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United.

However, according to The Athletic, Manchester City are now the frontrunners to sign Bellingham. The report claims that City have been in contact with Bellingham's representatives for several months and have made him their top transfer target for next summer.

Bellingham has been a key player for Dortmund this season, making 44 appearances in all competitions. He has scored eight goals and provided 15 assists, helping his team win the Bundesliga title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Bellingham would be a major coup for Manchester City

If Manchester City are able to sign Bellingham, it would be a major coup for the club. The England international is one of the most promising young midfielders in the world and would add creativity and dynamism to City's midfield.

Bellingham is also a versatile player who can play in a variety of midfield positions. This would give Pep Guardiola plenty of options in midfield, and would allow him to rotate his squad more effectively.

Manchester City will have to pay a significant fee to sign Bellingham, but he is worth the investment. He is one of the best young players in the world and would be a major asset to any team.
