Lescott: Bellingham to Premier League Unlikely Despite Haaland Friendship; Real Madrid Won't Sell
In an interview with Hupu, Manchester City legend Joleon Lescott discussed several football topics. He stated that Jude Bellingham is unlikely to move to the Premier League from Real Madrid, as the Spanish club would not sell him even for over £200 million, and personal friendship with Erling Haaland is insufficient to facilitate such a high-profile transfer. Regarding new Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca, Lescott believes minor tactical adjustments are expected but drastic changes are not, and the club's long-term planning will ensure patience. He identified Arsenal as the top favorite for the Premier League title due to their stability, while Manchester City needs improved consistency. On new signing Elliot Anderson, Lescott argued his value is context-dependent, noting he was worth £150 million to Nottingham Forest but that value may not translate directly to Manchester City.
