If there’s one thing that has annoyed the biggest Premier League clubs over the past five years, it’s that Jude Bellingham opted out of the ball island in 2020. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took 16-year-old Jude and his parents on the grand tour at Carrington, but the choice still fell on Borussia Dortmund. Now it’s little brother Jobe who is ready for the next step.
Sunderland fought their way to promotion to the Premier League, but 19-year-old Jobe clearly thinks he needs something bigger. As many as six Premier League clubs have shown their keen interest in signing Bellingham, Manchester United included. However, it is moving towards “following in the footsteps of big brother”.

Because according to Sky Sports and several other German media, Jobe Bellingham has chosen to move to Borussia Dortmund, where Jude has opened the doors to privileges at the German club, after his 132 games in a Dortmund shirt and a wild 103 million euros in sales revenue from the Real Madrid transfer.
It is reported that Sunderland and Borussia Dortmund have now sat down around the negotiating table to agree on a price, which is likely to end up at up to 40 million euros.
This time, too, Premier League clubs will not be allowed to use the Bellingham genes on the match arena.
