Real Madrid is always looking for ways to improve the squad, both for the present and for the future. Florentino Pérez doesn't waste any time and analyzes move after move, discarding or giving the green light depending on each case. The latest has caused a lot of interest, although in the end Dortmund has come out on top. We're talking about Jobe Bellingham, Jude's brother, who has followed in his footsteps by heading to Germany.
The youngest of the Bellinghams, just 19 years old, has left Sunderland after two seasons to make a complete change of scenery. He has done so by following in his brother Jude's footsteps, also signing for Borussia Dortmund. In total, the German side has paid more than €30 million (more than €30 million), trusting his quality and potential for the future.
What Jobe Bellingham is certain about is that he has taken a crucial step in his career, but he doesn't plan to stop there. He sees Dortmund as a team where he'll stay for a couple of years, make a name for himself in Europe, and then move on to a top club. In fact, he knows exactly what his next step should be: to go to Real Madrid with Jude.
Jobe and Jude Bellingham, the duo awaiting Real Madrid
Marca has revealed that Jobe Bellingham dreams of one day joining his path with his brother Jude's. It wouldn't be anywhere else but at Real Madrid, which is where he hopes to spend the rest of his career.
Jude Bellingham's role has been essential in the English midfielder's decision to head to Dortmund. The experience he had at the German club has been key to this choice, as he dreams of continuing to follow in his older brother's footsteps. Therefore, Jobe Bellingham will fly to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup, where he'll wear the number 77.
Jobe Bellingham, a diamond in the rough
Borussia Dortmund has completed the signing of Jobe Bellingham, the talented 19-year-old English midfielder who arrives from Sunderland. The younger brother of Jude Bellingham, current star of Real Madrid, Jobe lands in Germany with impressive potential and the goal of shining in the Bundesliga as his brother did before making the leap to the world elite.
During the last season at Sunderland, Jobe played 43 matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists in the English Championship. His performance hasn't gone unnoticed, and Dortmund has bet on him as an investment for the future. He's a midfielder with a great stride, an ability to arrive from the second line, and a lot of tactical intelligence. His versatility also allows him to play as an inside midfielder or attacking midfielder.
Borussia Dortmund once again shows their commitment to young talent, signing one of the most promising prospects in English soccer. At Signal Iduna Park, they trust they'll repeat the formula that worked so well with Jude. Jobe Bellingham is already a 'borusser' and European soccer will be watching his development very closely.
