Sources confirm that 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham remains the hottest target as Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund lead an intense transfer battle.
Sunderland braces for significant offers if they miss Premier League promotion this season. Scouts from Tottenham and Crystal Palace closely monitor his every move.
The club sits fourth in the Championship. They trail the automatic promotion spots by eight points with ten games remaining, intensifying the pressure.
Should promotion slip away, Sunderland will entertain big-money bids. Clubs are already acting swiftly as his rising star attracts substantial interest.
Bellingham has played 32 league matches this season, all as a starter. He clocked 2,848 minutes, scored four goals, and provided three assists. He also accumulated eight yellow cards and one red card.
The midfielder boasts over 100 senior appearances. He honed his skills at Birmingham before leaving St Andrew’s in 2023, a move that sharpened his competitive edge.
Bellingham remains a long-term asset with a contract running until June 2028. Enzo Maresca’s side has also joined the race for his signature.
Chelsea now faces a potential £250 million setback as operating losses surged last season. Revenue fell from £513 million in 2022-23 to £469 million, and the Premier League imposed no penalties for overspending in 2023-24. For exclusive updates, visit fotnet24.net and join our WhatsApp channel.
