At the weekend, Borussia Dortmund made progress in their pursuit of Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham.

Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman honoured the personal agreement with the Bellingham family to sell the midfielder for less than his €40m release clause.

The 19-year-old has already travelled to Germany to carry out transfer formalities before completing a move to Borussia Dortmund.

A few mins ago, Sky Deutschland journalist Patrick Berger took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report that Bellingham has arrived to carry out second part of his BVB medical.

Berger shared a video of Bellingham arriving at at Dortmund’s Miners’ Hospital, also known as Knappschaftskrankenhaus. The England U21 international’s transfer to the Bundesliga club should be ‘finalised today’ and will sign a five-year contract.

He adds the German club will pay €30.5m plus bonuses to the Black Cats and Borussia Dortmund should provide more details of the actual cost of the operation when they make the transfer official.

Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig also showed interest in Bellingham, but BVB managed to convince him to join them. He’s expected to part of their squad for the Club World Cup.
