Manchester City are interested in signing the Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old is one of the best young players in the world and Manchester City are plotting an ambitious move for him. They are prepared to offer €150 million in order to get the deal done, as per Fichajes. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are prepared to sanction his departure.
He’s one of their best players and losing him would be devastating for the club. The England International is unlikely to force an exit from the club. He is enjoying his football with Real Madrid and he is competing at a high level. He has no reason to leave them right now.
Manchester City will have to convince the player and his club in order to get the deal done. €150 million offer is a substantial amount of money for the player and Real Madrid could be tempted. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
The midfielder has 41 goals at 29 assists to his name since joining the Spanish club. He is very young and he could improve with coaching and experience. He has all the tools to develop into the next superstar. Real Madrid must do everything in their power to keep him at the club.
Manchester City could use someone like Bellingham
Having said that, Manchester City would do well to secure his signature. They will look to get back to the top of European football and they need top-class players in order for that will happen. They were not able to challenge for major trophies last season and they have been unconvincing this season.
Someone like Bellingham could make a huge difference in the middle of the park. He will add physicality, technical ability, drive and goals to the side. He is capable of operating as a central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder. Manchester City have not been able to replace Kevin De Bruyne properly and the 22-year-old England International could fill that void.
