Fabrizio Romano has given Manchester United fans new hope regarding England’s World Cup prodigy Jude Bellingham, despite strong interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Previous reports indicated that the Red Devils were all but out of the race altogether, with the power of the other aforementioned clubs proving too much for them to compete with.
However, Romano believes that United will make an offer to the Borussia Dortmund star.
“From what I understand, it’s not that Manchester United are out of the race,” Romano explained in his daily press conference.
“They want Bellingham, but they know that Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid have different market power at this stage of their project.
“So Man United will try, but they know it’s more than difficult.”
With more attractive proposals from their rivals from a trophy perspective at this stage, United would need an immensely attractive offer to compete for Bellingham’s signature.
The infrastructure at those clubs is also ahead of what the Red Devils can offer, but these are factors that could change before the 19-year-old considers his options in the summer.
A good season for Erik ten Hag’s team, along with financial backing from new investors, could turn this transfer saga upside down.
So while Man United may not be the current favorites to sign Jude Bellingham, there is still a lot of value in staying in the conversation.
With a grueling few months before those talks come to a head, the club’s focus is now on the winter transfer window.
Although they overspent in the summer and were previously thought to expect a quiet mid-season on the transfer front, Romano has given fans reason to hope for improvements in the squad, adding that, for United, their “Focus now It’s in January, not June yet.” .”
