SURPRISE SIGNING: Man Utd reach agreement summer move for English midfielder valued at£86m

Man Utd considering summer move for English midfielder valued at£86m Premier League giants, Manchester United are reportedly confident that they will be in a good position to finalise for the services of Borussia Dortmund playmaker Jude Bellingham during the current summer transfer window. The 18-year-old midfielder has been in stunning form for Dortmund since his arrival from Birmingham City in 2020, founding back of the net 10 times and provided 18 assists in 90 games for the Bundesliga giants. During the 2021-22 campaign, he scored six goals and provided 14 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions, and it is understood that many of the world’s leading clubs are keen to sign him. Liverpool are believed to be keen on to sign the ex-Birmingham City starlet in 2023, however, not they will face stiff competition from Man Utd. Bellingham will not be in the summer, with the England international saying last month that he would spend the 2022-23 campaign at Dortmund. “The only future I’m thinking about is the next game with Dortmund. And I will be here next season. I’m ready,” the midfielder told Ruhr Nachrichten when asked about his future. A recent report suggested that Los Blancos are ready to pay €90m (£77.8m) for the English midfielder, while Liverpool are believed to have already made an offer of €100m (£86.4m). However, according to The Express, the Red Devils could win the race for the Englishman in 2023, when they will hope to have secured a return to UCL. The report claims that the 20-times English champions could be a ‘more dangerous proposition in the transfer market’ next summer if Erik ten Hag enjoys a successful first campaign in the charge. Man United and Liverpool are both believed to have wanted Bellingham from Birmingham in 2020 and now they have renewed interest to lure him at the club.
