Jobe Bellingham: Dortmund secures top talent for 30 million!
On June 10, 2025, young midfielder Jobe Bellingham faces a significant move. The 19-year-old from AFC Sunderland will most likely move to Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund and Sunderland have agreed on a transfer fee of around 30 million euros, which could rise to up to 35 million euros and more through additional bonus payments. This reports fr.de.
Bellingham, who won promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland last season and played 90 games there, is making a remarkable impression. He has already played for the England U21 national team and will also be part of the team that will take part in the European Championships in Slovakia. His continued commitment to Sunderland until 2028 received particular attention in the run-up to the move.
The change process and the challenges
The move to Dortmund not only requires an agreement between the clubs, but also individual persuasive skills. Dortmund's managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke personally traveled to England to convince Bellingham and his family. He received support from sports director Sebastian Kehl and coach Niko Kovac. However, Eintracht Frankfurt's attempt to win over Bellingham with personal discussions and a warm welcome was not enough to prevent the transfer of talent.
The various aspects of the transfer are equally important. The transfer fee of 30 million euros could, through the planned bonus model, represent a new club record for Dortmund, which would surpass the previous record of 35 million euros for Ousmane Dembélé in 2016. Sunderland are also excited about the bonus as it would also set a record for the club's most expensive departure, previously set by the sale of Jordan Pickford to Everton in 2017. Both sides have agreed on a 15 percent resale share.
Personal motives
A crucial factor for Bellingham was the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his older brother Jude Bellingham, who moved to Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020. Jobe Bellingham sees this step not only as a personal challenge, but also as a priority in a successful club structure. Dortmund has historically specialized in developing young talent, creating an ideal environment for the young player to continue to develop.
The move is imminent and Bellingham already left the England U21 training camp on Saturday evening to travel to Dortmund for a medical. The timing of the transfer is favorable as FIFA's additional transfer window of June 1-10 allows Dortmund to register Bellingham in a timely manner.
Jobe Bellingham's impending move to Borussia Dortmund will open up an interesting prospect for both the player and the club, while Sunderland will focus on further personnel planning in the meantime. The coming weeks will show how this transfer will affect the future challenges in the Bundesliga.
