March 2025
RB Leipzig have begun talks for Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham, though they consider the asking price too high.
Leipzig are among several clubs monitoring the 19-year-old midfielder, who is expected to leave this summer. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have previously been linked.

West Ham have surged ahead of Tottenham in the race to sign 17-year-old Sunderland sensation Chris Rigg.
Internal talks are already underway at West Ham. They’re also targeting Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, who will be a free agent this summer. However, Gomes has yet to accept the Hammers’ offer of £100,000 per week.
Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland → Manchester United)
Summer 2025
Manchester United are one of six Premier League clubs interested in Bellingham if Sunderland fail to secure promotion.
The 19-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2028, meaning Sunderland are not under financial pressure to sell, but interest from United, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest is strong.
