Bellingham asks Florentino Pérez for a signing
The English footballer from Real Madrid has recommended a signing to the president of the white team to strengthen the midfield.
Latest news regarding Real Madrid. Jude Bellingham wants to share a dressing room with his brother Jobe Bellingham at the white club, with Florentino Pérez as a key figure in a potential future operation. The 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder has just received his first call-up to the senior England team for the matches against Croatia on November 12 and Spain on November 15.
The opportunity comes at a time when the Madrid midfield needs alternatives to maintain the balance of the squad. Jobe has gained prominence in Germany, and his development has placed him back on the radar of those considering a possible reunion of the brothers at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Jobe Bellingham, an alternative for Real Madrid's midfield
The potential arrival of Jobe would allow the white club to bring together two players who share positions but have different characteristics and experiences. Jude, at 23 years old, is already part of the Madrid team's sports structure, while his brother continues to develop his career in the Bundesliga.
Jobe joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2025, coming from Sunderland, in a deal valued at around £31 million. His adaptation to German football has taken time, but this season he has gained minutes in Niko Kovac's team, contributing two assists in eight Bundesliga matches, according to available data.
His profile could be interesting for Real Madrid due to his ability to play in the midfield. The squad needs alternatives in a position that influences both ball progression and pressing after losing possession, two fundamental aspects for maintaining balance between defense and attack.
The England call-up also represents a significant step in his career. Thomas Tuchel has included Jobe in the squad for the Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, alongside his brother Jude. The coach has rewarded his recent performances with Dortmund and his role as captain of the under-21 national team.

Florentino Pérez must assess the fit of the Bellingham brothers
For Florentino Pérez, the issue is not limited to the family bond. The potential addition of Jobe would need to meet the sporting needs of Real Madrid and his ability to compete for minutes in a squad with several international midfielders.
Jude's precedent shows that the club is willing to invest in young English players, even though the paths of both may not be comparable. Jobe has a contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2030, according to available records, so any move would require evaluating his contractual situation and the cost of a potential exit.
The next step will be to see how the midfielder responds to his first experience with the senior England team and if he consolidates his progress in Dortmund over the coming months. The matches on November 12 and 15 may provide him with international visibility and offer new insights into his competitive level.
If Jobe continues his development, Real Madrid will have sporting reasons to consider his profile for future transfer windows. The possibility of bringing the Bellingham brothers together in the same team adds a familial component to the story, but it will ultimately be the player's performance and his fit in the midfield that determines the sporting interest of Florentino Pérez.
