Manchester City convinced of signing Chelsea target Jude Bellingham

Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United all are interested in signing England international midfielder Bellingham next summer, according to the report in the British tabloid.

The Sun have added that Dortmund will sell the 19-year-old England international midfielder for £83 million if they get the money in one go.

The report has added that City striker Erling Haaland has been telling Bellingham how much he has been enjoying it at the Etihad Stadium.

Haaland joined the defending Premier League champions from German club Dortmund in the summer of 2022.
