RB Leipzig in talks to sign Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland in summer 2025

‎RB Leipzig have initiated discussions with Jobe Bellingham as the Bundesliga club intensifies its efforts to secure the Sunderland midfielder for the 2025-26 season. According to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Leipzig has thoroughly assessed Bellingham's profile, who is under contract with Sunderland until 2028. Despite recognizing the high cost of signing the 19-year-old, Leipzig has made him a priority target for the upcoming summer transfer window.

‎Bellingham, who has gained considerable attention for his performances with Sunderland, could potentially follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Jude Bellingham, by making a move to Germany. Borussia Dortmund, another prominent Bundesliga club, is also reported to be interested in the young midfielder. The German side believes they can persuade him to join, particularly due to his brother's successful tenure with the club before his recent transfer to Real Madrid in 2023.
‎In addition to the German clubs, Premier League giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea are also monitoring the situation, with hopes of securing Bellingham's services. His future, however, is likely contingent on Sunderland's promotion prospects. Should the Black Cats fail to achieve promotion to the Premier League, Bellingham is expected to depart for a new challenge.
‎For the time being, the midfielder remains focused on Sunderland’s ongoing Championship campaign and will next feature for the club in a critical match against Millwall this Saturday, as they push for a spot in the top flight. SA
