Jude Bellingham, the English midfield sensation, is shining brightly in La Liga wearing a Real Madrid shirt after moving to Spain from Borussia Dortmund this summer. He has quickly established himself as a top-class player with Los Blancos.
In no time, Jude cemented his place in the starting eleven with back-to-back match-winning performances week in and week out, having the world at his feet. Now, the Spanish giants have set their sights on Jude’s younger brother, Jobe Bellingham.
Madrid reportedly showing interest in Jobe Bellingham
The 14-time UEFA Champions League winner, Real Madrid, secured Jude Bellingham’s signature in the summer for a £115 million price tag on a long-term 6-year contract. Safe to say, the 20-year-old gave no chances to doubters, living up to the expectations.
The Englishman has accumulated impressive figures since making his debut at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring 10 goals with 3 assists in 10 matches – 8 in the league and 2 in the Champions League – equaling the record of former Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo in his debut season.
Following Jude’s success, Real Madrid have shifted their focus to Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of the Real Madrid star. According to reports, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez directed the head scout Juni Calafat and his team to monitor Jobe’s stint at Sunderland.
President Perez wants to bring Jobe to the Spanish capital to play alongside his elder brother Jude Bellingham. The club scouts reportedly also attended the National team match of England U-19 against Montenegro to assess Jobe’s gameplay.
Fans react to Bellingham x Bellingham potential
Reactions poured in from fans after reports emerged that Jobe Bellingham was being observed by Real Madrid scouts. After signing Jude, Los Blancos have now shifted their focus to the Sunderland player, Bellingham Jr.
One fan urged Real Madrid to bring Jobe in, saying the Bellingham brothers will dominate the football scene.
Another wrote, “I will love that and I think I deserve that”, a nod to a past remark originally made by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Seemingly, fans are excited about a possible Bellingham reunion at the Santiago Bernabeu, considering both of them are hot prospects for the England national team and world football. Therefore, Real Madrid is eager to invest as early as possible.
Jobe Bellingham player profile
Jobe Bellingham, 18, is currently playing for Sunderland AFC in the English Championship, the second tier of English football. Jobe is a Birmingham Academy graduate, just like his elder brother. This summer, he left Birmingham City, a club in the sixth tier.
Recently, he represented England U19 and has already made 2 appearances this month. Jobe has been a regular presence at the national team camp since the U16 batch.
For Sunderland this season, he has made a total of 12 appearances and found the back of the net twice. Following in the footsteps of his elder brother, Jobe is emerging as a talented player and is surely one for the future.
