Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Jobe Bellingham will leave Sunderland to join Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund are continuing their pursuit of Bellingham and after the Black Cats rejected their first offer. They are ready to return with an improved offer in an attempt to reach an agreement.
According to สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Sports Germany, the German giants are believed to have agreed a five-year contract with the player and are in talks over a transfer fee.
Bellingham, still only 19, helped Sunderland earn promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. Scoring four and assisting three in 40 Championship appearances in 2024/25.
Borussia Dortmund had an initial bid of €20m rejected earlier in the window. But returned with a substantially improved offer that Sunderland could not refuse.
Jobe’s arrival follows a familiar path well-trodden by talented English youngsters seeking elite development in Germany, with Dortmund having previously nurtured not only Jude Bellingham. But also Jadon Sancho and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens – who has been strongly linked with a summer switch to Chelsea.
Romano has now confirmed that talks have concluded. With Dortmund agreeing to pay €33m plus €5m in add-ons and a 15 per cent cut of any future sales, in line with Sunderland’s demand to sell him for just £33.7m (€38m)- a record for a player sale.
Jobe will follow in the footsteps of his older brother Jude Bellingham. Who honed his skills there before moving to his current club Real Madrid.
