Michael Ball believes that Manchester City buying Jude Bellingham for £100m would end up being a bargain.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been linked with a potential return to England, and a move to the Premier League champions.
Bellingham is developing into perhaps one of the best midfielders in Europe at Dortmund, where he has been given the chance to play regular football.

Indeed, since joining the club from Birmingham City, the England international has made 53 appearances for the Bundesliga giants, scoring six goals and laying on eight assists.
An elegant midfielder, Bellingham has also won eight caps for the Three Lions and is still just 18 years of age.
Ball thinks that Bellingham has all the attributes to become a genuine superstar in the next few years, and he thinks that a fee of £100m could well be seen as a snip if City can get a deal done.
He said: “He seems to have everything, as a young kid. He’s got strength, he’s got power, he’s got size and he’s got the ability alongside that. And off the pitch he seems to have a very level head, but very determined in what he wants to be.
“I think him and his family have got a whole idea of where they want to be in his career and who knows? £100 million in a few years could be a bargain.”
