Manchester City are leading the race to sign Jude Bellingham this summer after Liverpool cooled their interest, according to reports.
Bellingham has long been considered the most in-demand player across Europe this summer, attracting interest across the continent during an outstanding season for both club and country. The 19-year-old has been Borussia Dortmund's talisman this term as they battle Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title, impressing further with England during the World Cup.
Liverpool have long been considered front-runners for Bellingham, but reports earlier this week suggested they have pulled out of the race as they don't want to blow their summer budget on one player. Real Madrid have also been in contention for some time, but ESPN report that City are growing increasingly confident they can win the race.
