Sunderland are preparing for the Championship playoff final for promotion to the Premier League, where they will face Sheffield United this Saturday, May 24th.

Meanwhile, a report has emerged linking one of the Black Cats' stars to an English giant. We’re talking about Jobe Bellingham.

More Clubs Interested in Jobe Bellingham

To BILD’s report, we must add recent updates linking Sunderland’s young talent with major clubs in the Bundesliga.

Both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have been named by the press as strong contenders for the future of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham’s brother.

Additionally, Eintracht Frankfurt could also enter the race, as they are preparing for a potential departure of Hugo Larsson and see Bellingham as an ideal replacement.

The German outlet also detailed that Jobe Bellingham's potential exit price is €30 million. According to the portal Transfermarkt, the young player's market value is €22 million.

BVB remain confident in their chances. The leadership trio - sporting director Lars Ricken (48), manager Sebastian Kehl (45) and coach Niko Kovac (53) - traveled to England weeks ago to convince the player. They would have to shell out around €30 million, but everything is ready to, if possible, sign him even before the Club World Cup.Jorg Weiler and Yannick Huber for BILD

For now, Jobe’s focus is on earning promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland. We’ll soon see whether the league where the Lads play next season could influence, or not, the future of the talented midfielder.
