Jack Grealish sends cheeky transfer message to Jude Bellingham amid Man City links

Manchester City ace Jack Grealish is certainly doing his bit to convince Jude Bellingham to join him at the Etihad.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is one of the hottest football properties around at the moment and is expected to leave the Bundesliga club this summer. He will have his pick of leading clubs with City linked along with rivals Manchester United.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have also been touted as potential destinations for the 19-year-old. And Grealish is playing his part in encouraging his England teammate to move to the blue half of Manchester.

The pair were involved in a social media exchange on Thursday night. Both players commented on an Instagram post from City defender Manuel Akanji, who joined from Bellingham at Dortmund last season.

Under his latest Instagram post, Bellingham wrote: "He's changed," while tagging his Dortmund teammate Gio Reyna. Grealish replied to Bellingham, writing: "Come to City xx."

Bellingham and Grealish are pals within the England set-up and it remains to be seen whether they will link up at club level next season. Wherever Bellingham goes, the price will be huge, with a reported £132million tag on the midfielder.

Bellingham came through the ranks at Birmingham City, before moving to Dortmund in 2020. He has since become one of the most highly-rated players in Europe and on the international stage, impressing in England's run to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.
