Real Madrid linked with Sunderland teenager Jobe Bellingham

Real Madrid are interested in signing Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland, according to TEAMtalk. The report has claimed that Madrid are keeping tabs on Bellingham and should consider making a bid for him if he continues to play well and show the quality of his elder brother Jude Bellingham, who is now a superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Jobe Bellingham has been on the books of Sunderland since the summer of 2023 when he joined from Birmingham City for £5 million. The 18-year-old has established himself as a key figure for the Black Cats and has shown his versatility by playing as a midfielder or as a forward.

Bellingham has made 20 starts and one substitute appearance in the Championship for Sunderland so far this season. The England Under-19 international midfielder has scored four goals and given one assist in those games. Sunderland are seventh in the Championship table at the moment with 33 points from 22 matches, three points behind sixth-placed Hull City.
