Manchester City have reportedly seen their pursuit of Jude Bellingham bolstered due to Pep Guardiola signing a new contract at the club.
Guardiola, who put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at City, will now be at the club until the end of the 2024/25 season. According to 90min, this news has seen their chances of signing Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund drastically increase.
They report that the England star's chance to play for Guardiola is a huge draw for Bellingham. It is also thought that the City's manager's contract renewal was a key part of the club's transfer policy going forward, as the reputation that the 51-year-old carries can make all the difference when rivalling other sides to the top signings in Europe.
