DOUBLE BELLINGHAM: Real Madrid are closely watching Sunderland star Jobe Bellingham, seeing him as the perfect long-term successor to Luka Modric and aiming to strengthen their squad for the future.

A recent story from Defensa Central said that Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Jobe Bellingham, a young star for Sunderland. It has been said that Real Madrid is keeping an eye on the growth of the English star in case they decide to make a move in the future.

How Fast Bellingham Grew at Sunderland

Even though Bellingham played for Birmingham City as a kid, he chose to join Sunderland last summer. The 18-year-old has done well for his present team this season, scoring three goals and setting up one other in 17 games.

The star from Stourbridge has been good in both halves, as shown by the fact that he makes 1.2 tackles, 0.6 saves, 1.4 clearances, 1.4 shots, 0.8 key passes, and 0.6 dribbles every 90 minutes in the EFL Championship. His pass success rate of 85.3% in the second level of English football (stats from who scored) shows how well he has done when passing the ball in the other team’s half.

It’s fun for Bellingham to play football for Sunderland, but he might want to move on next year if Real Madrid makes an offer. He is still pretty raw at age 18 and would need time to show what he can do at the top level.

Are there good things in the future for Bellingham?

Bellingham can catch the ball well and turn it over a few times to help his team inside his own half. He’s not afraid to get rid of the threat when it comes up, and he can only hit the ball from far away.

The English star can see the field well enough to set up some good chances for his partners up top, and he can also make quick runs with the ball in the other team’s half. There are times when he is asked to play as a box-to-box player instead of an attacking midfielder.

We can expect Bellingham to make Real Madrid’s game-day group better and more strong. That he can play with the first team at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is proof of his skill.

So, Real Madrid should work hard to sign Bellingham soon because he is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the future. Aside from that, he would be a great long-term replacement for Luka Modric at the Madrid club.
