Multiple reliable new sources are reporting that Man Utd have submitted a concrete bid for Jude Bellingham. The midfielder remains under contract at Real Madrid, but the opening offer has opened the door for discussions between the two clubs - though it is unclear at this stage whether the current bid will be enough to tempt them to part with a prized asset. While Man Utd and Real Madrid continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Liverpool, Chelsea and Birmingham reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Man Utd look balanced this season - 1.8 goals scored and 1.37 goals conceded per game. Jude Bellingham would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Luka Modric, Nico O Reilly and Cristian Romero with Man Utd likewise connected to Mika Godts, Caleb Marfo Yirenkyi and Nathan De Cat.
