Jobe Bellingham Makes Big Move to Borussia Dortmund
Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has officially completed a transfer to Borussia Dortmund, marking a significant milestone for both clubs. The deal represents a record sale for Sunderland and positions Bellingham as one of Dortmund's most expensive signings.
The initial transfer fee is reported to be £27.8m (€33m), with Sunderland securing a 15% sell-on clause. This is the highest transfer fee Sunderland has ever received, a testament to Bellingham's rising talent. The agreement also includes potentially £4.2m in add-ons, making the total value even more substantial. Some of these add-ons are considered easily achievable, while others require more significant milestones to be met.
Dortmund initially offered £16.8m, but Sunderland held firm, ultimately securing a much more favorable deal. Bellingham expressed his excitement about the move, stating, "I'm delighted to now be a Borussia Dortmund player and to be fighting for titles with this great club. I want to do my part to celebrate success with these amazing fans here."
What's Next for Bellingham?
It is expected that Bellingham will withdraw from the England U21 squad competing in the European Championships. This is to allow him to participate in the Club World Cup, where Dortmund is scheduled to face Fluminense on June 17. This early involvement indicates the high expectations Dortmund has for the young midfielder.
