Man Utd ready to join Jude Bellingham transfer race and battle rivals to seal Premier League and British record deal

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to join the battle for Jude Bellingham.

And they are prepared to seal a Premier League and British transfer record deal this summer.

Bellingham, 19, is arguably the hottest property on the market after becoming a star player for Borussia Dortmund and England.

The ace has already clocked up 164 club games and 22 international caps.

And after leaving Birmingham for Dortmund in 2020, Bellingham is now expected to return to his homeland this summer.

Liverpool are thought to be leading the race as Jurgen Klopp plans an overhaul of his midfield.

And Manchester City are also keeping tabs with Ilkay Gundogan’s contract expiring.

But the Telegraph claims United could soon emerge as frontrunners after throwing their hat in the ring.

Erik ten Hag has “genuine interest” in bringing Bellingham to Old Trafford.

And a source close to the player claims “everything is open” as Dortmund look to keep hold of him for one more year.

But the Germans will not let Bellingham go for pennies.

They want at least £110million for their star man.

That would see Bellingham break the £100m British record fee paid by Man City for Jack Grealish.

And it would also be more than £106m record Premier League signing Enzo Fernandez, signed by Chelsea on deadline day.
