Pep Guardiola eyes Real Madrid star as the successor to Kevin De Bruyne; Plans an impossible heist

Manchester City may be poised to stir up the upcoming summer transfer window, with Pep Guardiola reportedly planning a bid for Jude Bellingham. Sources from both Spain and France indicate that the Premier League champions are eager to secure the talented English midfielder, as Guardiola aims to strengthen his squad.

The Englishman had exploded onto the scene in La Liga and the Champions League, clinching both trophies in his debut season and establishing himself as one of the best midfielders in world football. With an astounding record of 23 goals and eight assists across all competitions last season, he had proved his mettle and made him an irresistible target for any top club.

Pep Guardiola eyes Jude Bellingham in next transfer window 

Manchester City is showing interest in signing Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid, as reported by Defensa Central. Manchester City's gaffer Pep Guardiola views Bellingham as a promising long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who has been injury-prone for the major part of last season.

Kevin De Bruyne's illustrious European career is entering its final phase as he navigates ongoing injury issues. The situation has forced the manager to identify and cultivate a generational midfielder who can step in and emulate De Bruyne's ability to control and influence the game from the midfield.

As Manchester City evaluates De Bruyne's future, with potential moves to MLS on the horizon, Jude Bellingham has emerged as a crucial target for Guardiola's plans, and the Premier League giants may try to pull off this heist sooner rather than later.

Pep Guardiola has long recognised Jude Bellingham's exceptional talent, particularly during Manchester City's encounters with Borussia Dortmund. However, acquiring him from Real Madrid poses many challenges. 

Real Madrid currently has no intentions of parting ways with Bellingham, who is content at the club and has established himself as an integral player within Carlo Ancelotti's squad. The club envisions Bellingham as a vital component of their future plans.
