JOBE BELLINGHAM could follow his brother to Real Madrid, according to reports.
Los Blancos splashed out £115million to land Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a simply stunning start to life in Spain with his new adoring followers already celebrating 16 goals and five assists in his first 19 appearances.
But if one Bellingham superstar wasn’t enough for Carlo Ancelotti, it is understood he has started making preparations to sign a second – including sending scouts to watch the teenager in action.
Like Jude, Jobe came through the youth academy at hometown club Birmingham City.
But the 18-year-old left St Andrew’s in the summer to join Sunderland.

The England youth international has already racked up four goals for the Championship side as they look to win promotion back into the Premier League.
However, according to Sport in Spain, Real Madrid are considering a transfer swoop.
It is said they want to sign the younger Bellingham sibling before he gets snapped up by a big Premier League side, recognising it will be harder and more expensive to lure him to the Bernabeu from a top English team.
Jobe is similar in style to his award-winning older brother – also playing in central midfield and able to get forward to create goals.

Some insist he is more versatile than Jude and could become an even better player than the 2023 Golden Boy.
Jobe himself said: “I know how to find space in the area.
“With the skills I have I can play in different positions and I can learn more things, it is something that will benefit me in my career.”
Off the pitch, Jude has been praised for his maturity and humble approach to the media and a very public life in the limelight.
And Jobe seems to have benefited from the same grounding growing up with parents Denise and Mark.
Dad and agent Mark met with Real Madrid to negotiate the huge summer transfer from Dortmund.
And now it is reported that he is living with son Jobe in Sunderland while mum Denise is with Jude in Madrid.
So any deal to take Jobe across to Spain as well would not only be yet another huge moment for the family – but also a chance for them to be reunited once more.
