Jobe Bellingham, Sunderland midfielder and younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, has become one of the hottest prospects in European football. At just 19 years old, his talent has attracted the attention of several top clubs from both the Premier League and Bundesliga, igniting a fierce competition for his signature.

Liverpool is the latest club to join the race for the young Englishman, according to German outlet BILD. While the Anfield side is reportedly proceeding with caution, they are closely monitoring the midfielder’s development. Chelsea is also said to be interested, along with several other top-tier English clubs.

Dortmund and Leipzig Also in the Running

Interest is not limited to England. In Germany, Borussia Dortmund—where his brother Jude made a name for himself—and RB Leipzig have emerged as strong contenders. Eintracht Frankfurt may also enter the race, especially if Hugo Larsson departs, with Bellingham viewed as a potential replacement.

BILD estimates that Bellingham’s asking price could reach $30 million dollars, although Transfermarkt currently values him at $22 million.

Promotion Is the Priority

For now, Jobe Bellingham’s focus remains firmly on the pitch. Sunderland is set to face Sheffield United this Saturday, May 24, in the Championship playoff final for promotion to the Premier League. Helping the Black Cats return to top-flight football is his immediate goal.

The outcome of that match could play a pivotal role in shaping Bellingham future. Securing promotion might influence his decision to stay at Sunderland for at least another season

Regardless of what happens, Jobe Bellingham name is already on the radar of Europe elite. Whether he stays in England or moves to Germany, his next move promises to be one of the most talked-about stories of the summer transfer window.
