Champions League
Guardiola praises Bellingham amid transfer window
Pep Guardiola spoke highly of Jude Bellingham in his press conference ahead of City’s game against Dortmund in Germany. The “Citizens” are among the teams that have the 19-year-old England international on the radar.
Manchester City have a very important game against Dortmund in Westfalen on Matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage, with Erling Haaland returning to Signal Induna Park as an opponent for the first time.
At the press conference, Pep Guardiola spoke highly of Jude Bellingham, who had managed to “blossom” in Westphalia. The England midfielder has already attracted the attention of Citizens, Real Madrid and other top European teams and the data on the next transfer markets will be a ‘contention point’.
What Pep Guardiola said in detail about Jude Bellingham at the press conference: ‘Ni think dortmund is a perfect place for young talented players. Perhaps (if) Bellingham went to a top Premier League club he wouldn’t have the minutes. The best way for a young player to get better is to play. At 17 he arrived.
It’s not just the quality, it had a special mindset. He’s already one of the captains of the team because it’s happening at 19, which is pretty impressive. It’s not just the goals, the overall package is very good. He was already playing for England at the age of 19. We know the quality it has“.
Bellingham has a contract with Dortmund until the summer of 2025. This year he has eight goals and two assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.
