With Liverpool keen, BILD says the Premier League champions are also taking an interest in Bellingham.
While City are also said to be closely monitoring Declan Rice, Bellingham has also apparently been identified as a potential replacement for 36-year-old Fernandinho, who is on a one-year contract and is unlikely to sign a new one due to his age.
Bellingham came up against City aged 17 in the Champions League last season at the quarter-final stage and shone, seeing a goal harshly chalked off in the first leg and scoring the opener at the Westfalenstadion in the second leg as Pep Guardiola's side won 4-2 on aggregate.
Speaking about Bellingham's performances, Guardiola said previously: "I can't believe he's only 17. Maybe he's a liar."
