Manchester City are in pole position to sign £130 million Jude Bellingham - thanks to the club’s shrewd trading in the transfer market.
While Liverpool have dropped their interest in Borussia Dortmund’s brilliant teenage midfielder after accepting they can’t afford to spend Jurgen Klopp’s summer budget on one player, the Premier League champions will be able to splash the cash after some inspired wheeling and dealing.
City have spent over £635 million on transfers over the last four seasons to recruit big-name stars like Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias and Rodri. But they have recouped almost £485 million in sales.
