Madrid Says Bye to 'New Bellingham' They Had been Monitoring: He's Going to Germany

The young star that Germany has managed to snatch from Real Madrid for the next season

One of the teams most focused on the emergence of new talents is Real Madrid. Through the outstanding work of Juni Calafat, the Meringue team has managed to sign several players who are now established stars. Looking to continue these successes, the club has set its sights on a player who has been dazzling half of Europe with his talent.

Jobe Bellingham is the young star who has caught Real Madrid's attention. His great performance at Sunderland showcased Jobe's ability to join a much more competitive team. However, despite the evident intentions of the Meringue team, everything points to the young Englishman ending up in Germany.

With Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund as interested clubs, Jobe could follow in his brother's footsteps. Jude, before joining Real Madrid, also decided to go to Germany to further hone his talent.

Following Jude's footsteps

At just 19 years old, Jobe is one of the most promising players in the world. The 2,308 minutes he has played this season show that, despite his age, Jobe is important for Sunderland. Additionally, the 4 goals and 3 assists he has achieved have been key for the team to be in the fight for promotion to the Premier League.

Despite having a contract until 2028, Sunderland is aware that they won't be able to keep Jobe for much longer. This is why, aside from Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Dortmund are seeking to sign him.

Despite how interested Real Madrid is and having his brother Jude on the team, everything points to Jobe having already made a decision. While it will be difficult to convince a player who is already decided, the team might make one last attempt.

Waiting for Jobe

Even if Real Madrid tries to convince Jobe, his arrival at the team is complicated. This is why, much to the dismay of Jude and the club, the arrival of the young Bellingham will have to wait.
