Jobe Bellingham to Dortmund 2025 is now close to completion as Sunderland and the German giants reach an agreement on a deal worth up to £27m including bonuses, according to reports in Germany.
BILD claim the 19-year-old Sunderland midfielder could undergo a medical in the next 48 hours, with Borussia Dortmund eager to finalise the signing before the FIFA Club World Cup transfer window closes on Tuesday.
The agreed structure is expected to include a base fee around £19.5m, with performance-related add-ons pushing it toward Sunderland’s full valuation.
