Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in signing Jobe Bellingham.
Jobe, brother of Real Madrid star Jude, joined the Black Cats from boyhood club Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee last summer.
And, he has enjoyed an impressive debut season at Sunderland, scoring seven goals in the Championship from midfield.
He has plenty of potential to develop, too, which is why Dortmund are keen to sign him, according to Football Insider.
Jude joined the Bundesliga club in 2020 and, three years later, signed for Real Madrid for over €100 million.
So, while Jobe probably won't reach those heights, joining Dortmund is definitely something worth serious consideration.
Meanwhile, Premier League clubs Newcastle and Tottenham are also reportedly interested in the Sunderland wonderkid.
Hola Madridistas!🤍
It is the proudest day of my life to join the greatest club in the history of the game. I will give absolutely everything I have to help this team win. Thank you for the amazing welcome. HALA MADRID!!!🤍🤍🤍 pic.twitter.com/MVdArVXMQf— Jude Bellingham (@BellinghamJude) June 15, 2023
Romano on Bellingham
Speaking to CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano previously reported that there is major interest in the 18-year-old.
"Another name to watch is surely going to be Jude Bellingham’s younger brother Jobe Bellingham, who is impressing at Sunderland. I really like him. I personally view him as an excellent talent – he’s a serious guy and a hard worker as well. I’m sure his future will be bright.
"For him to be similar to Jude is going to be difficult, as it would be for everyone as he’s a generational player, but Jobe is really talented and good. We will see what happens in the summer, it’s quiet so far but scouts are obviously monitoring him closely."
