Madrid calling: Real and Atlético eye up Jobe Bellingham | OneFootball

Jude is already there. Will Jobe soon arrive in Madrid as well? Both Bellingham brothers on one team: this idea doesn’t seem so far-fetched. The 22-year-old superstar in Real’s jersey could soon be joined by his brother, who is two years younger. But local rival Atlético wants to interfere with the family reunion.

Jobe’s situation in Dortmund continues to spark speculation. Still not forgotten is the heated argument between father Mark (49) and BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl (45) at the start of the season, when the two clashed after the Bundesliga match at FC St. Pauli (3:3).

In the meantime, the excitement in Dortmund about the young Englishman has settled down. Jobe has featured in all 16 competitive matches for the Black and Yellows so far, including six times in the starting lineup. Nevertheless, rumors about a possible club change for the 20-year-old persist—despite a contract running until 2030.

BVB in the stronger position

According to the Spanish portal fichajes.net, Madrid’s top clubs Real and Atlético are both considering the player. In addition to brother Jude, head coach Xabi Alonso (43) is also said to be among the supporters of the young BVB professional. With his strength in duels and physical style of play, Bellingham Jr. would also fit perfectly with the preferred style of Atleti coach Diego Simeone (55), it is said. The pressure to compete with Jude would probably not be as high with the Colchoneros as it would be with the “Royal Whites.”

Both Madrid clubs can offer Jobe a lot. However, nothing can happen without Borussia Dortmund’s approval due to the long-term contract. Now that the fuss about the Bellinghams has died down, a sale after just one season seems unlikely at the moment. But the clubs from the Spanish capital will be closely monitoring the progress of the U21 international.
