Lazio is allegedly considering a move for Jobe Bellingham, adding their interest to the growing list of teams vying for the talented Sunderland player.
The 18-year-old Englishman has excelled in the Championship this season, scoring five goals and dishing out one assist in his first thirty league games. Jude Bellingham, a star player for Real Madrid, is his younger brother.
During the January transfer window, Lazio was quite active in the English market, attempting to arrange moves for Morgan Whittaker of Plymouth Argyle, Jonathan Rowe of Norwich City, and Ryan Kent of Fenerbahce. Maurizio Sarri was left without any mid-season reinforcements when none showed up.
According to Il Messaggero (via TMW), Lazio is considering a summer transfer for Jobe Bellingham, but they will have to contend with competition from Real Madrid and Newcastle United.
The English teenager’s market value is extremely high due to his immediate effect at Sunderland and his brother’s growth in recent years, so the Biancocelesti will have a difficult time acquiring the forward.
