Manchester City have shown interest in signing the Borussia Dortmund teenager.
Pep Guardiola has hailed Jude Bellingham ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund.
The Citizens have seen Erling Haaland take the Premier League by storm since signing him last summer.
Reports around their interest in Bellingham have already emerged in English media, with Guardiola being aware of the English starlet’s qualities.
“Borussia Dortmund is the perfect place for young talent to come,” Guardiola told a pre-match press conference.
“Maybe if he went to a top Premier League club, he wouldn’t have got the minutes. The best thing for young players is to play minutes.
“It’s not just about the quality, it’s about how he was leading and kicking and going to the referee, this guy is something special and has the mentality. He already is one of the captains [at Dortmund], the whole package is really good.
“He’s already in the national team for England at 19 years old, we know the quality he has. We will try to impose our game and win the game.”
As always, City’s financial resources can help them land another brilliant signing. For Bellingham, however, they might face serious competition from a host of elite sides from across Europe.
The likes of Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on the English teenager, while Barcelona and Real Madrid have recently joined the race.
