Jude Bellingham will play the lead role for Real Madrid during the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup tournament and he could still be confronted against his brother, Jowe, if he completes a move to a new club
Jobe Bellingham has decided to pursue a summer switch to Borussia Dortmund in a movement that will probably see him standing up against his brother, Jude Bellingham, in the Club World Cup.
Bellingham, 19, is expected to leave Sunderland this summer, despite helping the Black Cats to earn promotion to the Premier League last month. And the former midfielder of Birmingham City has no shortage of offers from interested clubs, especially in Germany.
Conversations between Bellingham and Eintracht Frankfurt became public knowledge last week – but the teenager is ready to become a member of one of their Bundesliga rivals.
Several points of sale have now confirmed that Borussia Dortmund is now in advanced conversations with Sunderland about a deal for the England Under-21-star, who has effectively said 'yes' to a switch that could cost the German outfit about £ 25 million.
Provided that a deal can now be agreed between the two clubs, this means that Bellingham will follow in the footsteps of his older brother, who came to the fore during his three -year stay in Dortmund.
And with Borussia Dortmund who would participate in the FIFA Club World Cup later this month, there is also the chance that the two brothers will play against each other with Real Madrid, also among the 32 teams that will participate in the tournament.
Mirror Football outlined earlier this week that Dortmund had not centered their pitch around the Superstar brother or sister of Bellingham, because they believe that the midfielder is more than able to forge his own inheritance in the club.
In fact, they are so in love with Bellingham JR that they are even willing to blow most of their limited budget to get a deal to take him to Signal Iduna Park.

Losing the services of Bellingham will come a huge blow to Sunderland, who are preparing to return to the Premier League after an absence of eight years.
The Maestro in midfield was a crucial figure in the youthful team built by the power brokers of the club and was sent by success by the astute le Bris Regis.
The Black Cats will also be without the services of Tommy Watson, their matchwinner in the play-off final of the championship. Watson, 19, agreed to sign for Brighton in the spring before he saw the season on loan, but will start the 2025-26 campaign as a seagull player.
