Premier League heavyweights Manchester United are engaged in a transfer pursuit of Jobe Bellingham, with notable European contenders also vying for his signature this summer.
Breaking: Borussia Dortmund Battles for Jobe Bellingham as RB Leipzig and Real Madrid Join the Chase
The race is on for Sunderland's promising midfielder, Jobe Bellingham. With Dortmund's scout and brother of Wycombe Wanderers head coach, Daniel Dodds, recommending him, the German giants have stepped up their pursuit, but they face challengers in RB Leipzig and Real Madrid.
Dodds, who coached Bellingham at Birmingham City and Sunderland, has a close relationship with the family. Given the success of his older brother, Jude, at Dortmund before his move to Real Madrid, Jobe could be following a similar path.
Manchester United has also kept tabs on Bellingham, hoping to avoid a repeat of the past when Jude snubbed Old Trafford for Dortmund in 2020.
Jobe Bellingham's Rising Star
The 19-year-old has made a mark at Sunderland after his youth career at Birmingham, with 87 appearances, 11 goals, and 4 assists under his belt. Now, with 40 appearances to his name in the current season, Bellingham is poised to take center stage in the Championship play-offs, facing Coventry City in the semi-finals.
Sunderland has struggled lately, with a six-game losing streak. Despite this, they aim to reclaim their spot in the Premier League, having been away since the 2016/17 season. Though they came up short in their previous promotion attempt in 2023, they are determined to seize the opportunity this time around.
