Jude Bellingham is experiencing a golden moment at Real Madrid, his performance has exceeded all expectations. Goals, leadership, and character.
He has become an essential player for Carlo Ancelotti, but now, the attention is not only on him. His brother, Jobe Bellingham, is also making waves and a lot.
Jobe Bellingham Shines at Sunderland
Jobe is 18 years old and is a midfielder, like Jude. He currently plays for Sunderland, a historic club looking to return to the Premier League. After difficult years, the team has resurrected and largely thanks to him.
He has been key throughout the season. His growth has been so evident that major European clubs already have him on their radar. Germany, once again, appears as a favorite destination for English talents.
Dortmund and Leipzig: After the Younger Bellingham
Borussia Dortmund already knows what it's like to bet on a Bellingham. They did it with Jude, and the result was spectacular. Now they want to repeat the formula with his brother.
They are not the only ones. RB Leipzig is also very interested. Their model is based on signing young players with potential, developing them, and selling them at star prices, a plan that would fit with Jobe.
However, there is an obstacle: the price.
25 million: A Figure that Complicates Everything
Sunderland has valued Jobe at 25 million euros. A high figure for Leipzig, which will not pay that much for a player without experience in the elite.
According to journalist Mark Plettenberg, specialized in transfers, Leipzig would have to look for creative formulas if they want to close the deal.
In contrast, Dortmund could afford that investment, especially if they see in Jobe the potential they once saw in his brother.
The Premier League on the Horizon
But there is an unexpected twist. If Sunderland achieves promotion, everything can change. For many English players, playing in the Premier is a bigger dream than any European league.
Tomorrow begins the first play-off match against Coventry. If they overcome it, they will have to face the winner of Sheffield United - Bristol City. If they win both matches, they will play in the Premier next season, along with Leeds and Burnley.
If promoted, it is likely that Jobe will decide to stay. Continuing to grow in England, with minutes and prominence, may be more attractive than going to Germany.
Pride for Jude: Decision for Jobe
From Madrid, Jude Bellingham watches with pride. His younger brother is on everyone's lips. And although the final decision has not yet been made, everything points to a busy summer.
Whether in Dortmund, Leipzig, or the Premier, Jobe Bellingham is no longer just "Jude's brother." Now he shines on his own.
