BVB star set for a shock exit? The truth behind the Bellingham rumours | OneFootball

Recently, rumors about a possible winter departure of Jobe Bellingham have been circulating. But how realistic is a departure of the midfield talent really?

For several days now, rumors about Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, have been making the rounds. The 20-year-old transferred from AFC Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund in the summer for over 30 million euros as one of the club's hopefuls and the supposed "king transfer." However, things have not been going smoothly for the young Englishman so far.

Although Bellingham was in the starting lineup for the first two Bundesliga games, he quickly had to give up his place in central midfield. Currently, Felix Nmecha and Marcel Sabitzer are ahead of him. Instead of making headlines on the pitch, the name Bellingham is currently in the spotlight mainly due to unrest off the field.

Father Mark Bellingham is particularly causing a stir. After the 3-3 draw against St. Pauli, he allegedly gained access to the locker room area and loudly complained about his son's limited playing time. In the weeks that followed, there were reportedly multiple confrontations with sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

No Quick Departure: Why BVB Continues to Rely on Jobe Bellingham

Despite these quarrels, a winter transfer at BVB is apparently not on the agenda. According to transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the transfer rumors originate from the player's family environment. The club itself remains committed to Jobe Bellingham according to a report by Bild and sees him as "a valuable future asset."

Similar signals are coming from England. The portal TBR Football reports that Borussia Dortmund has no intention of letting the young midfielder go after just half a year. Coach Niko Kovac reportedly has no problem with Bellingham—on the contrary, his training performances are regularly praised. Additionally, everyone involved is aware that the leap from the Championship to the Bundesliga is a "massive step" that requires time.

Therefore, the club continues to follow the motto: Patience instead of panic. The Dortmund officials knew that the adjustment could take months and want to give Bellingham the necessary time to acclimatize. Although his famous last name and the high transfer fee add to the complexity, a hasty departure seems to be out of the question.
