The seven-figure sum Birmingham City have earned via Jobe Bellingham transfers now shared

Birmingham City continue to make money on Jobe Bellingham after originally selling him to Sunderland.

Jobe, like his brother Jude Bellingham, began his senior career on the books of Birmingham City.

He made 26 appearances for the Midlands outfit before leaving to join Sunderland in the summer of 2023.

Bellingham excelled at Sunderland, helping them win promotion to the Premier League this past season.

However, Bellingham has now joined Borussia Dortmund, following in the footsteps of his older brother.

How much Birmingham City have earned from Jobe Bellingham

Now, an insight into the total amount Birmingham have earned via Jobe Bellingham has been shared.

When he originally left St Andrew’s for the North East, the Blues took home a £1.5m transfer fee.

Crucially, Give Me Sport reports that Birmingham included a 15 percent sell-on clause in that deal.

In turn, they are now reporting that Tom Wagner’s club have earned just over £4m from Bellingham after his move to Dortmund for £27.8m.

In total, Birmingham have now netted around £5.5m for the English midfielder.

Birmingham have completed transfers this summer already, but more arrivals are expected in the coming weeks.

Joe Gelhardt is linked, but the Leeds United forward is also thought to be of interest to Wrexham.

Birmingham have been linked with Demarai Gray as well, though a move for their ex-player doesn’t seem likely.

Meanwhile, a Louie Barry transfer to the Blues from Aston Villa has been mooted in recent weeks.
