Manchester City have reportedly entered the race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The 18-year-old has taken no time at all to settle into life in the Bundesliga, registering six goals and 13 assists in 38 matches across all competitions this season.
Bellingham's form is thought to have attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid, although Dortmund are in a strong position to play hardball with his deal not expiring until 2025.
Now, Bild journalist Sebastian Kolsberger claims that Man City have joined the growing list of clubs hoping to sign the teenager, although he could still spend "a few years" in the Bundesliga.
"Jude is one of the future stars of the midfield, and all clubs want him. I think after a few years in Germany he will return to England. Liverpool and Manchester City also want to sign him," Kolsberger told the publication, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
Dortmund are reported to be holding out for an £84m fee for Bellingham, with both Liverpool and Real Madrid tipped to make offers for the England international in the summer of 2023.
