June 6, Biography reported that there is a "gentleman agreement" between Bellingham and Sunderland, allowing Bellingham to transfer for about 30 million euros this summer.

Although 19-year-old Bellingham Jr. had expressed his willingness to join Dortmund earlier this week, club senior Lars Ricken and sports director Kyle still need to negotiate with Sunderland on the transfer fee. The key is that the player has a 40 million euro termination clause in his contract, which complicates the negotiations. If both parties cannot reach an agreement, the deal may be ruined.

At present, negotiations between Dortmund and Sunderland are still in progress, but there is still a long way to go before a deal is reached. Dortmund is willing to pay a transfer fee of up to 25 million euros, plus a bonus of at least 5 million euros. However, this doesn't seem enough for Sunderland.

It is understood that if Sunderland insists on 40 million euros, the deal may end up failing. Dortmund is reluctant to pay too much for the midfielder.

The fact is that Sunderland is not in a hurry to sell Bellingham Jr., and Dortmund hopes to complete the transfer as soon as possible so that Bellingham can go to the United States with the team to participate in the Club World Cup on June 13, which is also the wish of Joby's players.

This means that this transfer must be completed before the special transfer window is closed on June 10. In order to facilitate this, Bellingham's father, Mark, also actively mediated behind the scenes. He hopes his son can make his debut in the club World Cup and show his strength.

It is said that there is a "gentleman agreement" between Bellingham and Sunderland, allowing Belling Jr. to transfer for about 30 million euros this summer.
