Manchester City are reportedly planning to make a club-record bid to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham this summer.

The 18-year-old has elevated his game to new heights since joining the German outfit from boyhood club Birmingham City in 2020, scoring 10 goals and registering 17 assists in 85 appearances across all competitions.

City have been strongly linked with signing Bellingham's teammate Erling Braut Haaland, but TEAMtalk claims that the Citizens are also planning a summer swoop for the England international.

The report adds that Pep Guardiola is keen to recruit a new central midfielder, with Bellingham high on his list of targets, and City are prepared to sign the teenager for a fee in excess of the £100m that they forked out to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa last summer.

Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with Bellingham, although one report claims that the midfielder may decide to stay put in the Bundesliga for a "few more years".

Bellingham, who is believed to be valued by Dortmund at around £125m, is under contract at Signal Iduna Park until June 2025. body check tags ::
