He Will Occupy – Sunderland Star Hailed By Loan Club After Big Impression
Sunderland Star Jobe Bellingham ‘Likely to Leave’ Despite Premier League Promotion
Sunderland may have secured their return to the Premier League, but one of their most sought-after young talents, Jobe Bellingham, is now reportedly ‘likely to leave’ the club, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
As preparations intensify for life back in the top flight, head coach Regis Le Bris is working to build a squad capable of avoiding the fate of last season’s relegated sides. However, he may have to do so without some key players.
Winger Tommy Watson is already set to join Brighton, and attention has now turned to midfielders Dan Neil and Jobe Bellingham, both of whom are attracting significant interest.
European Giants Circle Bellingham
Dan Neil is reportedly a target for Serie A side Roma, while Bellingham has drawn attention from several Bundesliga clubs.
Talks have taken place between Bellingham and potential suitors in Germany, including Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Officials from Dortmund recently travelled to the UK for discussions, while Bellingham himself visited Eintracht Frankfurt to tour the club’s facilities.
Both teams are able to offer Champions League football next season—a major incentive for the 18-year-old midfielder.
Bellingham is likely considering the career path of his brother, Jude, who developed his game in the Bundesliga before earning a move to Real Madrid.
Transfer Fee Still Uncertain
Sunderland’s valuation of Bellingham is reportedly a sticking point, particularly for Eintracht Frankfurt. While interest is strong, the player has not yet made a formal commitment to any club.
Losing Bellingham would represent a significant setback for Sunderland’s Premier League plans, as Le Bris aims to build a squad with the depth and talent to compete at the highest level.
Transfer Activity at Sunderland
Despite the potential departures, Sunderland are also exploring new signings. Former West Bromwich Albion defender Cedric Kipre has emerged as a serious target as the club looks to bolster its defensive options.
In addition, club legend Jordan Henderson is being considered for a return to Wearside.
The experienced midfielder could bring valuable leadership and top-flight know-how to a young squad looking to defy expectations in the Premier League.
