Dortmund place Bellingham as priority transfer target, Sky reports

Sky are informed that Jobe Bellingham is a priority for the Ruhrpott club.

Jobe Bellingham is Borussia Dortmund’s number one transfer target this summer, Sky Germany jounalist Patrick Berger believes.

The bosses are working hard to reach an agreement with the player and want to convince him and his family of a move, hence the trip with everyone involved this week.

BVB doesn’t rate him any higher in terms of talent than his brother Jude, but they are absolutely convinced of his qualities.

Jobe knows the club from Jude’s time and generally likes the idea of a move. He has realized that talented players can usually develop in Dortmund.

However, he wants to play in the Champions League next. And he has little desire for the constantly emerging Jude comparisons. 

Dortmund will also face competition from other top clubs. His Sunderland contract runs until 2028 with no release clause meaning a €25m transfer fee minimum.
