Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Jobe Bellingham, an 18-year-old Sunderland sensation, and would love to have him among their ranks one day.

Real Madrid are interested in signing Jobe Bellingham, according to Defensa Central. The Spanish giants are keeping an eye on the 18-year-old and believe he might be a good match for them in the future.

Bellingham rose through the ranks of Birmingham City Football Club. Sunderland, however, managed to obtain his services after only one complete season with their first team. He was signed by the Championship club ahead of the current season, and he has since done wonders on the pitch for them.

The England youth international has played in 17 games and has logged over 1,200 minutes on the field. The youngster has even assisted on four goals. He’s made a fantastic start to life at Sunderland, and his outstanding achievements haven’t gone unnoticed.

Europeans are interested in Bellingham’s services. Real Madrid is one of the major clubs keeping a close eye on his progress. Los Blancos have been thrilled by the adolescent sensation’s performances and would love to have him on their team.

However, according to the report, he has no position in current Real Madrid squad. The Spanish giants would want to sign the England young international in the future. He may not be in their immediate plans, but they see him as an intriguing long-term alternative.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid believes that if he joins a Premier League powerhouse in the near future, they will be unable to entice him away from them. As a result, the Merengues would want to see him join a team other than Paris Saint-Germain in Serie A, Bundesliga, or Ligue 1.

His elder brother Jude Bellingham already plays for Los Blancos. They also have a good relationship with the Bellingham family, which may help them sign him in the future. Real Madrid scouts are anticipated to monitor his progress regardless of which club he joins, and the team in white is expected to make a move at some point.
