Borussia Dortmund Want Sunderland Starboy
Today at 05:25 AM
Jobe Bellingham is linked with a move to German giants Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window, for around €25 million.
Jobe has been a stand out player for the Black Cats after joining Sunderland in the 2023-24 season, with his performances getting him called up to the U-21 England squad.
This season Jobe has scored twice and has one assist but he has particularly stood out for his defensive contributions and his work rate. He has played the full 90 minutes in every match he has started (discluding his red card against QPR).
Borussia Dortmund look to follow the same path they took with Jobe’s older brother, Jude Bellingham. However the black cats will be reluctant to sell the 18-year-old in the January transfer window due to his performances this season. Furthermore Jobe’s contract means he is locked in at Wearside until 2028.
Sunderland’s starboy holds a market value of £12 million, compared to his older brother’s transfer market value at 17 years old being around £20 million.
With his transfer value nearly being less than double the amount of Judes at the same age. Would Jobe be able to do it in the Bundesliga, or will it destroy his career if he moved to Borussia Dortmund?
Jobe has seen his brothers' career bloom at a rapid pace, however a big money move to one of Europe's best for himself may be slightly premature.
