Manchester City have made the first move in the race for Jude Bellingham after holding initial talks with the Borussia Dortmund star.
The teenage star has continued to flourish in Germany since making the move from Birmingham City in 2020 and has a host of Europe's leading lights wanting to secure his services. Dortmund have shown themselves willingness to offload their star players for the right price and could be preparing to do so again.
Liverpool and Manchester United, who previously made moves to sign Bellingham, are heavily linked with the midfielder, but it is City who are looking to steal a march having held initial talks about signing the player, as reported by the Daily Mail. Those close to the situation now believe the Etihad outfit are leading the race for his signature.
