Jobe Bellingham Considers Bundesliga Move Amid Premier League Promotion With Sunderland, Eyes Path Similar to Brother Jude
Despite playing a key role in Sunderland’s dramatic return to the Premier League, 19-year-old midfielder Jobe Bellingham appears to be weighing up a move abroad as he travels to Germany for talks with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bellingham, who helped the Black Cats clinch promotion in the Championship Play-Off Final over the weekend, is reportedly assessing his next career step this week. Eintracht Frankfurt are one of several German clubs vying for his signature, with Borussia Dortmund — the former club of his older brother Jude — already engaging in discussions, and Red Bull Leipzig also hoping to present their proposal.
While several Premier League clubs have shown interest in the young talent, early signs suggest Bellingham may be leaning toward following in Jude’s footsteps by developing his game in Germany. Jude Bellingham, who has spoken publicly about the benefits of his time at Dortmund, notably thrived in the Bundesliga before making a high-profile switch to Spanish giants Real Madrid, where he is now a first-team star.
Following Sunderland’s promotion, Jude congratulated his brother via video call, adding a personal touch to Jobe’s career crossroads. As part of the recruitment effort, Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to give the younger Bellingham a full tour of their training and club facilities in hopes of convincing him to join their project.
With a decision expected soon, Jobe Bellingham’s next move could mirror his brother’s continental success story — even if it means stepping away from the Premier League spotlight just as Sunderland reclaims its place in it.
