Pep Guardiola & Man City could rob Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham is going to be the big name of the summer transfer window. The talented midfielder from Borussia Dortmund is likely to leave the Bundesliga and Real Madrid led the race for his signature until the arrival of Manchester City.

The 'Daily Mail' explains that Pep Guardiola's team has activated negotiations and are close to stealing the player from under Florentino Pérez's nose with a multi-million euro offer.

Bellingham prioritised playing in LaLiga, but he is beginning to view City's economic and sporting proposal positively.

The English club could totally remodel their midfield for next season. Gundogan's contract is up and, for now, he has no renewal offer, while Bernardo Silva has the doors open to leave if a proposal close to 80 million euros arrives.

The Portuguese midfielder has made it clear that his cycle in the Premier League has ended and City will not hold him back as Guardiola has explained on more than one occasion.

City's big bet is to sign Bellingham, whatever it takes, a player who would become the undisputed starter in Guardiola's new project.

Bellingham was very close to Madrid, but the call from City has thrown him off balance and he is seriously considering the option of a return to England, something that seemed out of the question.

Guardiola's figure carries weight and the sporting project is really very attractive.

City's proposal, taking into account what they could bring in for Bernardo Silva, would go to 130 million euros and the player's salary would also be astronomical.

Madrid have always made it clear to the Bellingham camp that they would not enter into any bidding war and will only sign him for amounts that they consider acceptable.

The arrival of City has blown up their plans and now anything could happen.
