Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The 20-year-old midfielder could be set to leave the German club in the January transfer window. Crystal Palace are also keen to sign Bellingham.
Bellingham is in difficulty at Dortmund
It appears his father had a falling out with sporting director Sebastian Kehl, and the player is also struggling to find regular opportunities.
He needs to play more often at this stage of his career, and leaving the German club could be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to send him out on loan or sell him permanently. Bellingham has only started two league matches this season.
Man United eyeing Jobe Bellingham
Manchester United are keen to secure his signature, according to a football insider. They could use more quality in the middle of the park, and the 20-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. He is highly regarded across Europe and has been compared to former Chelsea star Frank Lampard due to his style of action in the middle of the park.
Manchester United could use a player with his skills and it would be a great investment. Convincing him to join the club won’t be difficult, considering his current situation. However, it remains to be seen whether the German team is ready to sell him in the middle of the season. On top of that, he is a tremendous prospect with a bright future, and the Bundesliga side might decide to be patient with him rather than give up on the player already.
If Manchester United manages to complete the deal, it would be a solid acquisition for them. He could become a key player with the right guidance and establish himself as an indispensable asset for the Red Devils.
