A significant update has emerged on the German club’s long-term interest in Sunderland star
Jobe Bellingham of Sunderland has long been connected with Borussia Dortmund,
but their chances of signing him are minimal, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.
Sunderland is no stranger to curiosity in their cherished possessions. Over the last year or so,
few SAFC players have received the attention that Jobe Bellingham has. Arriving on
Wearside with an exciting reputation following his Birmingham City debut, Bellingham
has taken his game to the next level at the Stadium of Light, and this season has been his
best in senior football yet. Still barely 19, Bellingham has starred in
Following the success of his older brother Jude, Borussia Dortmund has long admired Jobe.
However, according to Dortmund tabloid Rurh Nachrichten, the Bundesliga club’s chances
of landing the Sunderland starlet are limited. According to reports, they have a ‘outside chance at best’
of getting him in due to heavy competition and a high asking price.
The friendship between BVB and the Bellingham family could work in their favor, and contact has maintained,
but SAFC star Bellingham may not follow in his older brother’s footsteps and join Dortmund. Still only 19,
there should be no rush to sign him to a top team in a top league.
He’s doing well on Wearside and will continue to do so into next season,
but his qualities are above Championship football, and there is a strong desire to see him tested at that level.
