Manchester City are reportedly in the market to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund after an impressive World Cup with England.
Bellingham was a star throughout the tournament with the Three Lions and particularly excelled in victories over Iran and Senegal. This, coupled with his terrific performances for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, has made the English midfielder a highly desired player.
MEN Sport revealed on Saturday that Manchester United are open to bidding again for the 19-year-old. United previously tried to sign Bellingham before the midfielder left Birmingham City but their attempts were in vain.

Now, according to GiveMeSport journalist Pete O’Rourke, City will still be in contention to sign Bellingham despite their rival's interest. "Manchester City are always going to be in the market for top players around the world and Jude Bellingham right now is in that bracket," he explained.
"Pep Guardiola has previously admitted he’s a huge fan of Bellingham, so I’m sure Manchester City with the finances and the project that they can offer to players, will definitely be in the running for Jude Bellingham." While one English star is being linked with a move to the Etihad, another has been tipped to leave.
According to GiveMeSport again, City fans should not be shocked if Jack Grealish was to leave Manchester at the end of this season. Since his £100m move from Aston Villa, Grealish has shown occasional glimpses of exactly what he is capable of doing.
However, the report claims that there are 'murmurs' that the 27-year-old's time at the Etihad may be reaching a conclusion. The media outlet adds that while everyone at City is determined for Grealish to be a success, patience may begin to wear out.
GiveMeSport also adds that a number of clubs would be queuing to sign Grealish if he became available.
