According to Florian Plettenberg and Patrick Berger from Sky Sports, Jobe Bellingham will be visiting Eintracht Frankfurt today to see the club's infrastructure and hold talks about a possible transfer, as some sources close to Frankfurt disclosed. The Eagles are also in the race for the Englishman with Borussia Dortmund, as a decision on his future is expected soon.
Borussia Dortmund are still very keen on signing him, with a special role in the squad's hierarchy if he eventually signs for the Black and Yellows. RB Leipzig remain interested, and it is an open race for 19-year-old talent, with no agreements having been reached with any club yet.
However, despite Jobe's visit to Frankfurt having nothing to do with any medical exams or a deal close to being reached, the Eagles are reportedly putting their foot on the gas to sign the player ahead of BVB. Today's visit to Frankfurt's installation could play a role in convincing Jobe Bellingham, as, similar to Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt also has Champions League football to showcase.
As Borussia Dortmund looked like the favorite to land Jobe Bellingham's signature, Jobe's visit to Eintracht Frankfurt could change the landscape of this transfer saga. Considering that Bellingham took his time to visit Frankfurt's installations, it shows that the young, talented midfielder is taking into account and assessing all his options before making a decision.
Whether Jobe will choose to follow in his brother's footsteps in Black and Yellow, it is still to be seen. However, today's developments provided a new chapter to this race, as Borussia Dortmund will have to push if they want to sign their priority target. The decision should be made soon and before the Club World Cup, as BVB want Jobe to join the squad for the international competition in the US.
According to Bild, Frankfurt's environment grows more confident that Jobe will pick them due to the fact that he doesn't want to be constantly compared to his brother. At the same time, BVB remain optimistic that Jobe will decide in their favor, as final negotiations could happen as soon as Tuesday.
