Jobe Bellingham has joined Borussia Dortmund; becoming Sunderland’s record sale and the second-most expensive signing in Dortmund’s history at an initial £27.8m; Bellingham expected to withdraw from England U21 duty to feature at the Club World Cup
Midfielder Jobe Bellingham has completed his club-record move from Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund.
The deal is worth an initial £27.8m (€33m) and includes a 15 per cent sell-on clause. It is the highest transfer fee the newly-promoted Premier League club have received.
Sunderland also negotiated add-ons worth around £4.2m with Dortmund. Around £2.1m (€2.5m) of those add-ons are easily achievable, while the other half are more challenging.
The agreement struck represents a significant increase on Dortmund’s opening bid of £16.8m.
