🚨Chelsea ‘arranging move for Sunderland starlet Jobe Bellingham’ – but face stiff competition from Europe’s big clubs

Football — 03/10/2025

Three European powerhouses are reportedly considering a deal for Sunderland striker Jobe Bellingham, including Chelsea.

The Black Cats, who are fighting for promotion back to the Premier League this season, have been making waves in the Championship thanks to Jobe, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham, a star at Real Madrid.

Sunderland star Jude Bellingham has attracted interest from a trio of European heavyweights

Numerous teams are reportedly interested in him, but according to The Sun, Chelsea is willing to outbid any other suitor.

According to reports, Chelsea wants to keep a sizable number of players from their home country in their roster because it’s crucial in England’s top division.

Bellingham is already establishing himself in the England setup with the under-21s, following in his older brother’s footsteps in his career.

He may now try to go past the Championship, but Chelsea will hope that, in contrast to Jude, he chooses to remain in the English system and join the London powerhouses.

Borussia Dortmund is apparently hoping to carry on Bellingham’s history in black and yellow by bringing the 19-year-old to the Ruhr this season, but Enzo Maresca will be hoping to fend off interest from elsewhere.

The Bundesliga’s admiration for Bellingham extends beyond the Westfalenstadion, as the midfield player is also being watched by the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.

Sunderland hopes promotion will aid in their goal of keeping Bellingham with the team past this season.

But with ten games remaining, the Black Cats are eight points outside of the automatic promotion spots, making it more and more likely that they will need to rely on the play-offs to get back into the Premier League.

This implies that they will probably need to defeat one of the Championship’s top teams, Leeds United, Sheffield United, or Burnley, who have been in a three-way competition for the automatics in recent months.

Bellingham may have to move away if Sunderland doesn’t improve, as Chelsea is one among the teams on high alert.

According to reports, Bellingham is worth £40 million, but a bidding battle can raise his asking price because to intense interest from several contenders.
