In the summer, Erling Haaland switched from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City. A step that he obviously likes a lot. Now he would like to lure his ex-teammate and good friend Jude Bellingham to the Premier League.
A move from BVB to Man City does not necessarily have to be successful – and certainly not right away. But Erling Haaland proved at the start of the season that he can deliver just as well and consistently in England as he did in Germany.
In ten appearances he has already scored a whopping 14 goals for the Skyblues. There was only one game in the league in which he did not score. For this he prepared a goal directly. It is also clear on the pitch that the 22-year-old feels very comfortable in his new home.
And he raves about it regularly to Jude Bellingham when they write. That reports the picture. The two get along very well and have become good friends during their time together in Dortmund. As a result, they often write and call each other. Haaland should always emphasize to him how great the conditions and conditions in City are.
It is quite conceivable that the striker would like to do some preparatory work for an expected transfer in the future. After all, it is already foreseeable that Bellingham – should he leave BVB next summer – can easily switch to the really big top clubs in Europe.
Although Liverpool FC in particular is considered interested, Real Madrid, Chelsea FC and Manchester United are also associated with him. And of course Man City has also noticed how the 19-year-old has developed.
One thing is clear: Haaland would definitely be happy if he could play with Bellingham again. Pep Guardiola is said to have confidence in him taking on the role of Kevin De Bruyne sooner or later.
But no matter which club the midfielder chooses – and whether next summer or not until 2024 – Dortmund will demand a large sum. According to the picture, at least 120 million euros would be required as a transfer fee. A sum that would probably not mean a direct rejection for City.
