Jobe Bellingham, the former Sunderland midfielder, is rumored to be considering a surprising exit from Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming January transfer window. According to reports from Football Insider, the 20-year-old, who moved to Dortmund for £31 million this summer after an impressive season with Sunderland, is struggling to establish himself in the Bundesliga side’s first team.
With Dortmund reportedly considering sending Bellingham out on loan to ensure his continued development with regular playing time, a return to England is now being explored. Several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Tottenham Hotspur, are said to be monitoring the situation closely. These clubs have reportedly shown interest in Bellingham in the past, with United tracking him since his breakthrough at Sunderland.
Despite his challenges in securing regular minutes with Dortmund, Bellingham recently registered his first goal contribution for the club in a 4-2 victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League. Although discussions of a potential Dortmund exit may be premature, the possibility of a return to England seems to be gaining traction.
Bellingham’s ties to Sunderland, where he became a fan favorite and played a significant role in their promotion-winning campaign, add a layer of intrigue to his potential return to the Premier League. If Dortmund decides to allow him to go out on loan, there is expected to be fierce competition among clubs vying for his signature, with the hope that a return to England could reignite his form and momentum.
