Leicester City and Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham. Sunderland will battle to keep 18-year-old Jobe Bellingham this summer, with Leicester City among the clubs interested in a summer transfer. Leicrster City’s bids for Bellingham have reportedly been rejected, and Sunderland want at least £20 million for the attacker. However, there are reports that Bellingham might be valued up to £40 million if he remains at the Stadium of Light for another season. We analyze Bellingham’s ranking among the most costly Championship player sales of all time.
Jude Bellingham (£25 Million) Jobe’s older brother Jude is the tenth most expensive Championship player sale of all time, having left Birmingham City for Borussia Dortmund in 2020 for a sum of £25 million. He later joined Real Madrid in 2023 for an estimated sum of around £100 million.
Ollie Watkins (£29 million). Aston Villa paid close to £30 million to purchase Ollie Watkins from Brentford in 2020, and the England international has since scored 70 goals in 169 appearances for the club.
João Pedro (£29 million) Before the completion of the 2022/23 season, Brazilian starlet Joao Pedro agreed to a lucrative move from Watford to Brighton. He became the Hornets’ second most expensive player sale, following Richarlison to Everton during the 2018/19 season.
James Ward-Prowse (£29.5 million). Another high profile departure last summer was that of midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who left relegated Southampton to join West Ham in a deal worth an estimated £29.5 million.
Moussa Sissoko (£30 Million) Following Newcastle United’s relegation from the Premier League in 2016, former French international Moussa Sissoko signed a £30 million deal to rejoin Tottenham Hotspur.
Tino Livramento (£31 million). Tino Livramento, a former Chelsea trainee, joined Ward-Prowse in departing Southampton last summer, agreeing to a big-money transfer to Sunderland’s North East rivals Newcastle United.
