Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on 18-year-old Sunderland sensation Jobe Bellingham and would love to have him in their ranks one day.
According to a report by Defensa Central, Real Madrid are keen on having Jobe Bellingham in their ranks. The Spanish giants are monitoring the progress of the 18-year-old, and they feel he could be a great fit for them down the line.
Bellingham came through the ranks at Birmingham City FC. But after just one full season with their first team, Sunderland managed to acquire his services. The Championship club signed him ahead of the ongoing season, and he has since done wonders on the pitch for them.
The England youth international has featured in a total of 17 matches and has been on the pitch for over 1,200 minutes. The youngster has even contributed towards four goals. He has had an exceptional start to life at Sunderland, and his impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed.
There is interest in Bellingham’s services from across Europe. Multiple top clubs are closely following his development, and Real Madrid are one of them. Los Blancos are quite impressed with the teenage sensations performances and would love to have him in their ranks.
But, there is no place for him in this Real Madrid squad according to the report. The Spanish giants would love to sign the England youth international a few years down the line. He might not be in their plans for the short-term, but they do see him as an interesting option in the long run.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid feel that if he ends up joining a Premier League great in the near future, they might not be able to prise him away from them. As a result, the Merengues would love to see him join a club in the Serie A, Bundesliga or Ligue 1, apart from Paris Saint-Germain.
Los Blancos already have his elder brother Jude Bellingham in their first team. And, they have an excellent relationship with the Bellingham family, which could help them sign him in the future. The scouts of Real Madrid are expected to follow his progress irrespective of the club he joins and the team in white are expected to make a move somewhere down the line.
