Jobe Bellingham is set for a huge transfer that could see him face his brother at the Club World Cup.

Jobe is attracting plenty of interest following his performances for Sunderland in the Championship.

He's been at Sunderland since his since move from Birmingham City and helped his team earn promotion to the Premier League following their Championship play-off final victory over Sheffield United last season.

But his future appears to lie away from the Stadium Light despite the club securing a spot in England's top flight after eight years away.

Clubs in the Premier League, including Crystal Palace, have kept tabs on the 19-year-old, not to mention teams in Europe.

Several Bundesliga sides are monitoring Jobe's situation, including Eintracht Frankfurt.

Borussia Dortmund, however, are confident they will beat Frankfurt to the signing of Jobe and are offering him the chance to play at this month's Club World Cup.

That's according to The Sun, who claim Dortmund are prepared to offer Sunderland £21 million plus add-ons for the star midfielder, while Sky Sports News state talks are at an 'advanced' stage.

Frankfurt are prepared to match that offer, but Dortmund are currently in a stronger position to secure his services.

And Dortmund are keen to complete the transfer so he could be available for their opening Club World Cup fixture against Brazilian outfit Fluminense on June 17 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Jobe's older brother, Jude, played for Dortmund following his £25 million move from Birmingham.

The England international, 21, shone in the Bundesliga, which is a key reason why Jobe and his parents are keen for him to sign for the German giants.

Dortmund boss Niko Kovac has already spoken at length about Jobe, with the club's sporting director Sebastian Kehl in negotiations with both Sunderland and Bellingham's parents.

If Jobe's transfer gets the green light, then he could compete against his older brother at the Club World Cup after Dortmund qualified for the competition through UEFA's four-year ranking.

Dortmund take on Fluminense before facing Mamelodi Sundowns and Ulsan HD.

As for Real Madrid, who qualified for the Club World Cup after winning the 2022 Champions League, they play Al Hilal, Pachuca and RB Salzburg.
