Bellingham will build a nest in Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. England's 'BBC' will join Dortmund on the 9th (Korea time) with Bellingham breaking the highest transfer fee to Sunderland. It will be Dortmund's second most expensive signing after Usman Dembele in 2016', the report said.
European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also agreed that Dortmund would sign Bellingham. All negotiations have been completed, shouting 'HERE WE GO'
Bellingham's transfer fee is worth 31 million pounds (about 57 billion won). The basic transfer fee of £26.9 million includes an option of £4.2 million based on his performance. Sunderland also reflected a 15% 'SEL-ON' clause in his contract.
Bellingham was recognised as the most outstanding talent in the English Championship (part two). He moved his nest from Birmingham City to Sunderland for just 3 million pounds (about 5.5 billion won) in the summer of 2023.
The potential exploded. Beliam scored seven goals in 47 appearances in the first season of the championship. In the 2024-2025 season, which ended last month, he played in 43 games and scored four goals and three assists. His older brother is a striker, while Bellingham is a central midfielder.

Dortmund is deeply connected to the Bellingham family. Jude, the older brother, nestled in July 2020 from Birmingham City to Dortmund. He was 17 years old at the time, and his transfer fee was 25 million pounds (about 46 billion won).
Jude has become a world-class player at Dortmund. He moved from Dortmund to Spanish giants Real Madrid in July 2023. At the age of the terms and conditions, he broke the highest price for an English player. The transfer fee was 115 million pounds (about 212 billion won) including options.
Bellingham received a more glamorous spotlight thanks to his brother. Unique DNA is the charm. Dortmund's transfer fee also surpassed his brother's. However, he wants to get out of the shadow of his brother and be recognized for his own value.
Former Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray, who coached Bellingham, said "He doesn't want to live off his brother's name. He wants to become the soccer player he wants and show people that ability. He is creating his own identity," he stressed.
If Bellingham participates in the FIFA Club World Cup, which opens on the 15th, he will be able to meet Ulsan HD in the K-League. Dortmund played in Group F with Pluminense (Brazil), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), and Ulsan.
Dortmund will face Ulsan in its final group match on the 26th.
