According to Fabricio Romano, Crystal Palace is in negotiations to try to sign Jobe Bellingham, an attacking midfielder for Southampton.
Oliver Glasner has been a great addition to Palace, and the club appears to be improving under his leadership.
After Roy Hodgson left the team—a man who Eagles fans will always love—he was losing steam in the capital of England. Glanser was just what the team needed.
Palace may be eager to reexamine the EFL market after seeing genuine success there in the past, and this success may offer them the assurance to support their present management in the transfer market.
Michael Olise, who joined from Reading, has developed into one of their greatest players, and Eberechi Eze, who was bought from Queens Park Rangers, has represented England in his time at Selhurst Park.
Adam Wharton, their most recent successful addition from the EFL, gets included in Gareth Southgate’s preliminary Euro 2024 squad.
Whether or not Wharton boards the plane to Germany next month, that is an incredible accomplishment for someone who is only twenty years old, and it appears that he is destined to play for the Three Lions in the future.
There is competition for Jobe Bellingham at Crystal Palace.
Journalist Romano has revealed that Bellingham is the latest talent to be linked to a move to Selhurst Park, with the Premier League team reportedly in talks to sign him.
The adolescent is reportedly one of the team’s top summer transfer targets, and Dougie Freedman, a major player at Palace, is attempting to persuade the Englishman to relocate to London.
Sunderland gave Black Cats target Will Still a significant setback. Reportedly, Will Still will take over as RC Lens’s new CEO.
Although Brendon is rumoured to be interested in the attacking midfielder as well, Glasner’s desire for the player does not ensure that he will be able to close a deal.
Bellingham’s previous team, Birmingham City, has a 15% release clause, thus the Blues will be able to profit from his sale if he does depart.
Sunderland can afford to take a firm stance on Jobe Bellingham
It would be devastating for the Black Cats to lose Bellingham during the next window after they put so much effort into acquiring him last summer.
Additionally, it might be a bad idea to sell the midfield player because that could make working at the Stadium of Light less tempting in the absence of a new manager.
With three years remaining on his deal and the club not making any major purchases recently (including the sale of Ross Stewart), they can afford to hang out for a respectable price for the player.
This summer, Jack Clarke might also depart, which would lessen the need—if any—for the Black Cats to profit from Bellingham.
Given that the teenager is having a good debut season at the Stadium of Light and is getting lots of playing time, it wouldn’t be shocking if he sticks on Wearside.

But if he’s promised a decent amount of game time at Selhurst Park, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him make the move there, with Glasner clearly a very talented coach.
