TOP STORY: Dortmund could lose Bellingham for bargain fee
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham could leave for a transfer fee of just £83 million next summer if it’s paid upfront, reports the Sun.
The England international is wanted by many of the biggest clubs in world football, demand that’s been reflected in the £130m transfer fee that the Bundesliga club have reportedly demanded. Now, however, the Sun writes that any club looking to bring in the 19-year-old could do so for almost £50m less than that figure, so long as it’s all paid up front.
Manchester City are sure that they can be the team to sign the talented teenager, as they offer him the best chance of winning silverware and an opportunity to reunite with former Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland, who has an incredible 14 goals in 10 games for City. Kalvin Phillips‘ signing from Leeds United initially ruled City out of the running for the former Birmingham City prodigy, but Pep Guardiola still wants another top-level player in midfield, and the Spaniard believes in Bellingham so much that he believes he could eventually fill Kevin De Bruyne’s boots.
