Fans were ecstatic on social media after spotting Manchester City star Jack Grealish’s cheeky message to England teammate Jude Bellingham. After his impact at Borussia Dortmund and his performances for England at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Jude Bellingham has emerged as one of Europe’s star on the rise. Dortmund will face a difficult task in keeping the 19-year-old midfielder in the summer transfer window, with Europe’s top clubs keen to sign the teenaged sensation.
Bellingham, who has a contract with Dortmund until 2025, has been linked with Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Chelsea, amongst others. Despite intense transfer speculation from the biggest clubs, Bellingham’s England teammate Grealish has hilariously urged the youngster to join City.
Come to City – Jack Grealish To Jude Bellingham
While City are well equipped financially as well as project-wise to lure any star player to the Etihad, the reigning Premier League champions will face a difficult task in enticing Jude Bellingham him to Eastlands, since a host of clubs are also interested in signing the wonderkid. As United are expected to emerge as frontrunners since Erik ten Hag has a ‘genuine interest’ to bring Bellingham to Old Trafford, Liverpool are currently leading the race, according to reports, since Jurgen Klopp plans to overhaul his midfield.
On the other hand, Jack Grealish was rather interested in shooting his shot, as he urged Bellingham to snub the other giants and join him at City. Centre-back Manuel Akanji, who joined Grealish at Man City from Bellingham’s Borussia Dortmund last season, is a mutual friend of the two England internationals. Bellingham commented on Akanji’s latest Instagram post, “He’s changed,” and tagged his Dortmund mate Gio Reyna.
Grealish quickly responded to the Dortmund midfielder, telling him to move to the Etihad, as the attacker wrote: “Come to City xx.”
Grealish’s cheeky request to Bellingham was met with delight by fans, who quickly dubbed him ‘Agent Jack Grealish’ on social media.
AGENT @JackGrealish AT FULL FORCE!

The winger has already sang high praises of Jude Bellingham, describing him as “scary” after he was named England’s man of the match against Ivory Coast last year. Grealish had also praised Bellingham’s technical ability and called him the best teenager he had ever seen, while also adding that he was most impressed by his maturity. The Birmingham duo appear to get along well and could be a perfect fit at The Etihad.
