Manchester United has lined up another exciting midfield transfer target amid its ongoing pursuit of Bruno Fernandes.
As the wrangling over figures with Sporting CP continues, the Red Devils have reportedly submitted a sizeable offer to Birmingham City for teenage talent Jude Bellingham.
But making the first move might only spark a European bidding war.
TOP STORY – UNITED SUBMIT BELLINGHAM BID
Birmingham youngster Bellingham 's clear potential has convinced United to launch an offer worth more than £30million, reports the Sun and Sky Sports.
The 16-year-old midfielder has burst onto the scene this season and the Old Trafford outfit is understood to be keen to test him in the Premier League.
However, it could face stiff competition from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and other heavyweight clubs across the continent.
The Mirror, meanwhile, claims United has made a "breakthrough" in negotiations for Portugal international Fernandes, having reached a "compromise" transfer fee in the region of £55m.
