Which club will sign Jude Bellingham? We look at the whys and why nots of Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
In Casemiro, United finally bought a world-class midfielder and Christian Eriksen falls into a similar category. But Erik ten Hag undeniably still has work to do on his engine room, and Bellingham has reportedly become a priority for United.
But under Ten Hag, and potentially under new ownership, United could be a more tempting proposition for Bellingham, who could become the new face of the Red Devils. United have the means to pay whatever transpires to be the going rate; the question is whether they are willing.United might be up for sale but there remains a strong possibility that should Bellingham meet with them again before the summer, it will be Joel and Avram Glazer still signing the cheques.
Bellingham will surely look at the longer-term picture, but a failure to qualify for the Champions League next season would see United make their pitch from a weaker position. Similar goes for Liverpool, with the two rivals currently fifth and sixth respectively.: Because Todd Boehly wants it to happen. And billionaire sporting directors tend to get what they want…
It doesn’t even matter that Chelsea were prepared to pay over the asking price – that was back in October and £90million is now unlikely to get them even a meeting. That doesn’t mean the Blues won’t be among the bidders, but Boehly is unlikely to impress Dortmund ahead of United, City or Real. The lure of playing with Grealish, Phil Foden and Kalvin Phillips is likely to be strong, even if he will encounter England team-mates at any of the Premier League clubs looking to land his signature. And, of course, Bellingham is almost guaranteed to win titles and trophies with City. Even more so if he joins., Bellingham could follow the Haaland blueprint: Dortmund to City, then on to Real in a few seasons. Assuming Real’s interest remains.
Those clubs can only hope City’s strength works against them in this instance. At Anfield, Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge, Bellingham could become the face of each club, the driving force for a better future. At the Etihad, he’d be another cog, though a bloody big and important one, in Pep’s winning machine. That would appeal to many players. Perhaps Bellingham fancies making more of a difference with his next move. Everyone else need hope so.
