Manchester United 'renew interest' in Jude Bellingham and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have reportedly reignited their interest in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

In 2020, Bellingham received a personal tour of the United training ground, but ultimately opted to make the move to the Bundesliga. Two years on, the Daily Star report that Erik ten Hag has renewed his club's interest in the 19-year-old, with the Reds keeping close tabs on his progress.

It is thought that the teenager is now one of their top transfer targets, yet a potential stumbling block on the deal could be a price-tag in excess of £100million. Ten Hag has already been warned about further spending, following his £225million spree over the summer, yet for a player of Bellingham's quality, the Dutchman will be hoping he can convince the board to spend big once again.

Elsewhere, United have reportedly been linked with a move for RB Leipzig's attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, but will face competition from rivals Manchester City for his signature.

Olmo has caught the eye of clubs across Europe after putting in some performances of the highest quality this season. The 24-year-old has scored twice and provided three assists in ten appearances across all competitions so far this season for his Bundesliga side.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, United are now being linked with a move to sign Olmo, alongside a host of other top European clubs, including rivals City. The Spanish international's contract is due to run out in June 2024, meaning that his German side could well be keen to cash in on their man before he runs his contract down, as well as his transfer fee.
