Birmingham City is probably watching from a distance as the transfer rumors around Jobe Bellingham and a move away from Sunderland continue to swirl ahead of the January market opening.

When Jobe left St Andrew’s for then-Conventional rivals Sunderland in the summer of 2023, the Blues reportedly included a sell-on clause in the contract, according to reports that surfaced earlier this year. He met up with Mike Dodds, the former academy manager, and Kristjaan Speakman, the former director of the Blues academy, in Wearside.

.After being given his debut by Lee Bowyer, Jobe, now 19, made 26 appearances for the Blues before playing a little more frequently under John Eustace. However, he moved to the Stadium of Light last year for about £1.5 million, and he has since played frequently in the Championship, scoring nine goals in 58 league appearances so far and playing for the England under-21 team.

According to reports in Germany, Borussia Dortmund, who naturally acquired Jobe’s older brother Jude from Blues to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2020, is interested in a possible rematch and has dispatched scouts to observe Jobe’s play this season.
It is thought that Sunderland will only consider bids exceeding £20 million.
As part of the agreement that sent Bellingham from the Blues to Sunderland, the Daily Mail stated in the spring that the Blues would get up to 15% of any future fees if the Black Cats sold Jobe. The Blues, who are probably going to be active in the window themselves, may be impacted by the growing rumors that Bellingham might be targeted in January.
