Man Utd and Chelsea dealt transfer blow after missing out on £32m star

Jobe Bellingham has snubbed interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal to sign for Borussia Dortmund instead.

The younger brother of Real Madrid and England superstar Jude Bellingham had attracted a lot of transfer attention thanks to his impressive performances for Sunderland.

In 2024/25, he was named Championship Young Player of the Season as he helped the Black Cats get promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs.

Sunderland were hopeful of keeping their best talents as they return to the top-flight for the first time in eight years, but it soon became clear that Jobe’s future lay away from the Stadium of Light.

Crystal Palace had long been linked with the 19-year-old, while Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal joined the race over the turn of the year, with the Blues ready to make a ‘big money’ move for him.

But it was also reported that the midfielder was more inclined to follow his brother’s example and move abroad, and that is exactly what he has done.

It is said Dortmund have agreed a €33million (£27.8m) deal with Sunderland for Jobe, with €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons and a 15 per cent sell-on clause.

It makes the teenager Sunderland’s most expensive sale and, if the add-ons are met, Dortmund’s most expensive signing, surpassing the £29.5m paid for Ousmane Dembele in 2016.

The Bundesliga giants will be hoping Jobe can have the same impact as Jude after the elder Bellingham enjoyed a highly-successful stint with the club from 2020 to 2023.

He subsequently moved to Real Madrid for around £113m and has established himself as one of the best footballers in the world.

Jobe was due to feature at the U21 Euros this summer for England but his participation is now in doubt as Dortmund are taking part in the revamped Club World Cup alongside Real, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Jobe Bellingham '100% ready for the big stage'

Man Utd may regret missing out on such a promising young talent, with ex-Sunderland defender Michael Gray previously tipping the teenager to make an immediate impact at Old Trafford.

‘He’s an outstanding talent that’s still probably got a bit to learn,’ he told Betfred in March.

‘One thing I would look at is that Amad Diallo went to Sunderland on loan and he was outstanding. He then goes back to Manchester United and he’s probably been their best player this season.

‘So when I take all that into consideration, then absolutely Jobe Bellingham could go to Manchester United.

‘When you look at what his brother’s achieved in a short period of time, I’m not saying that Jobe’s going to reach those levels, but he’s got all the ability in the world to be nearly as good as his brother.’

Portugal vs Spain TV channel and live stream: How to watch Nations League final in the UK tonight

Arch-rivals Portugal take on Spain tonight in the final of the UEFA Nations League.

The eagerly awaited showdown sees one of the greatest of all-time Cristiano Ronaldo up against the heir to Lionel Messi’s crown, Lamine Yamal.

Ronaldo’s Portugal won the inaugural Nations League in 2019 and the Manchester United legend scored the winner in the semi-final comeback victory against Germany.

Spain are looking to secure back-to-back titles to go alongside their Euro 2024 victory and booked their place in the final by beating France in a 5-4 thriller.

While only UEFA’s secondary competition, it gives us a good indication of who the favourites will be for next summer’s World Cup and the final promises to be an action-packed affair.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Nations League final, including how to watch on a TV channel, team news and match odds:

Where to watch Portugal vs Spain on TV and live stream

The 2025 Nations League final is being held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, which was also the venue for PSG’s Champions League final victory last month.

The match will kick-off tonight at 8pm UK time.

In the UK, ITV1 will be broadcasting the final with their coverage beginning at 7.30pm. You can also stream the action live on ITVX.

Is extra-time used in the Nations League final?

If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the final will go to extra-time. If no one can find a winner after the additional 30 minutes, a penalty shootout will decide the Nations League champions.

Portugal vs Spain team news

One change Portugal could make from the semi-final win would be to bring Vitinha, who excelled in the Champions League final, back into midfield alongside Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes.

That would push Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva into the forward line alongside Ronaldo and Chelsea winger Pedro Neto.

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente suggested he would make no changes to his side for the final despite nearly blowing a 4-0 lead against France.

Nations League winner odds

Spain – 1/2

Portugal – 8/5

Among the familiar faces likely to start are Tottenham and Chelsea full-backs Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella, and Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino.

Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea handed boost as Victor Osimhen rejects £63m transfer

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have been given renewed hope of signing Victor Osimhen after he rejected a £63m summer move.

Osimhen has been linked with a number of top Premier League clubs after his successful loan spell at Galatasaray.

Effectively banished from Napoli by Antonio Conte last summer, Osimhen made the switch to Galatasaray and helped the Turkish club win the league title with 37 goals in all competitions.

Osimhen only joined Galatasaray after a deadline-day move to Stamford Bridge fell through, much to the frustration of the Chelsea delegation that had travelled out to Naples to agree a deal.

Chelsea have again been linked with Osimhen this summer despite already spending £30m to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.

The Blues are keen to bolster Enzo Maresca’s attacking options with at least one more forward and have discussed a fresh move for Osimhen.

The 26-year-old has also emerged as a potential target for Manchester United and Arsenal but it appeared as though the Premier League sides would all miss out as he edged closer to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Napoli agreed a £63m deal with Al Hilal last week but Osimhen has now rejected the Saudi giant’s proposal and the move has fallen through, according to Sky Sport Italia.

That will come as welcome news to potential suitors for Osimhen, who scored more than a goal every two games for Napoli before being exiled by Conte.

Manchester United and Arsenal are both yet to sign new strikers but it appears only a matter of time before goalscorers arrive at Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium.

United’s preference right now appears to be Viktor Gyokeres, Sporting Lisbon’s Swedish No. 9 who scored 54 goals last season.

But a number of clubs are interested in Gyokeres and there is no guarantee he will end up at Old Trafford despite previously working with Amorim.

Arsenal also admire Gyokeres but appear to be prioritising a move for RB Leipzig and Slovenia striker Benjamin Sesko, who is valued at around £70m.

‘Man Utd might be the destination for Victor Osimhen’

John Obi Mikel, who is close to Osimhen, believes the Nigerian could end up in the Premier League come the start of the 2025-26 season.

‘I hope there is still a Premier League move for him this summer’, he told Metro. ‘I think the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United, they still need a striker.

‘I don’t think [Rasmus] Hojlund is the guy for Manchester United. He runs around and works hard but he is not the guy who will score goals, put them in the top four and win them trophies.

‘So for me Manchester United might be the destination. I don’t want to see him in Saudi right now because he still has so much to offer in Europe.

‘It would be a shame to see him go there. So maybe Arsenal, United, Juventus and PSG too [are his options]. Let’s see what happens.’

MANCHESTER UNITED are set to undergo huge change during the summer transfer window.

Weeks after beating Utd in the Europa League final, Spurs are looking to deal another blow to Utd, as they attempt to HIJACK their move for Bryan Mbeumo.
