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

Recently, rumors have been circulating about a possible winter departure of Jobe Bellingham. But how realistic is it that the midfield talent will actually leave?

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 this summer for over 30 million euros—as one of the club’s great hopes and supposed “marquee signing.” But so far, things have been anything but smooth for the young Englishman.

Bellingham did start in the first two Bundesliga matches, but quickly had to give up his spot in central midfield. Currently, Felix Nmecha and Marcel Sabitzer are ahead of him. Instead of making headlines on the pitch, the Bellingham name is currently in the spotlight mainly due to unrest off the field.

Above all, father Mark Bellingham is causing a stir. After the 3-3 draw against St. Pauli, he reportedly gained access to the locker room area and loudly complained about his son’s limited playing time. In the weeks that followed, there were said to be several confrontations with sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

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

Despite these quarrels, a winter transfer is apparently not an issue at BVB at the moment. According to transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the transfer rumors originate from the player’s family circle. The club itself, according to a report by Bild, remains committed to Jobe Bellingham and sees him as “a valuable asset for the future.”

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 is said to have no problem with Bellingham—on the contrary: his performances in training are regularly praised. Moreover, everyone involved is aware that the leap from the Championship to the Bundesliga is a “huge step” that takes time.

Within the club, the motto remains: patience instead of panic. The Dortmund management knew that the adjustment could take months and want to give Bellingham the necessary time to acclimatize. Although his famous surname and the high transfer fee make the situation even more challenging, a hasty departure seems to be out of the question.
