Sunderland Set €25M Price Tag on Jobe Bellingham; Dortmund May Struggle Without UCL Funds
Sunderland sets a price of 25 million euros for Jobe Bellingham, but Dortmund may not be able to afford it
Recently, according to multiple media reports, the English Championship team Sunderland has set a transfer price of 25 million euros plus bonuses for the team's midfield star Jobe Bellingham. The 18-year-old English midfielder has performed well this season, attracting the attention of many European giants including Dortmund.
### **Sunderland Lions Opening? **
Jobe Bellingham has been firmly in the starting lineup in the English Championship this season. He has played more than 40 times for the team so far and has contributed many goals and assists. His comprehensiveness and physical fitness make him a young midfielder with great potential. He is even considered by the outside world to have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his brother Jude Bellingham and become an important member of the England national team in the future.
However, Sunderland's asking price for this talented teenager does not seem to be low. The price tag of 25 million euros plus bonuses is not a small amount for any club that wants to bring him in, especially for teams with limited financial conditions. It is an unaffordable price.
### **Dortmund may not be able to afford it**
Bundesliga giants Dortmund are one of the teams most interested in Bellingham Jr. They hope to sign another member of the Bellingham family after his brother Jude. However, according to German media reports, if Dortmund fails to qualify for the Champions League this season, it will be difficult for them to pay the transfer fee.
At present, Dortmund's situation in the competition for the Champions League seat in the Bundesliga is not optimistic. If they fail to make the top four in the end, their financial income will be greatly affected. At that time, the club's budget in the transfer market will also be limited, which may force them to give up their pursuit of Bellingham Jr. or try to complete the transaction by renting + buying out.
### **Future destination is still uncertain**
In addition to Dortmund, some Premier League teams are also paying attention to Bellingham Jr. Considering the financial strength of Premier League teams, if a Premier League club decides to make a move, Sunderland's asking price may not be a problem.
However, whether Bellingham is willing to stay in England or follow his brother's footsteps to play overseas will also be an important factor in determining his future. In any case, the young midfielder is destined to become one of the focus figures in this summer's transfer market.
