Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham could be set to follow in his brother Jude’s footsteps with potential moves to either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, according to reports.

Bellingham has been a standout performer for Sunderland over the past two seasons. After scoring seven goals and providing one assist in the Championship last year, he has added two goals and two assists this season, helping the Black Cats secure fourth place in the league.

However, he may not be with the team for much longer, as TBRFootball indicates that both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are closely monitoring his progress. Real, having already signed his brother Jude, is eager to invest in young talent early to avoid inflated transfer fees.

There is a belief that Jobe has the potential to match his brother’s level, which could allow him to bypass the gradual steps that Jude took and secure a major transfer right away.

Interest from several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, has also been noted. However, according to TEAMtalk, Jobe opted against a Premier League move in July despite interest from Tottenham and Crystal Palace, as he aimed for greater opportunities.

A transfer to Real Madrid would not only reunite him with his brother but also significantly enhance his path to stardom. Given Jude’s successful stint at Dortmund, which propelled him to global recognition, a move to Dortmund could also be a crucial step in Jobe’s career.
