May 11th According to SPORT1, Dortmund has a close relationship with the Bellingham family, and three senior executives have negotiated with Bellingham Jr. on the transfer.

Dotter sports director Kyle, club CEO Ricken and head coach Kovac went to Newcastle for negotiations this Wednesday. During this period, they exchanged views with relevant parties to Bellingham Jr. on the transfer. Bellingham Jr. currently plays for Sunderland, the Championship.

The three senior officials of Dortmund personally participated in the talks, highlighting the club's emphasis on this signing, especially when there are many competitors. Clubs such as Leipzig also expressed interest in the 19-year-old. But Dortmund may have one advantage, that is, the Bellinghams and Dortmund's senior management are still in close contact.

Bellingham Jr. is expected to be one of the hottest players in the transfer market this summer, and some English experts even believe that his potential may exceed his older brother. However, his contract with Sunderland is valid until 2028, which means the transfer fee may be expensive.

At the same time, Dortmund also needs to weigh the stay or not of Chukuemeca. If Bellingham Jr. is introduced, whether it can still sign Chukuemeca permanently will depend on a number of factors, the most important of which is whether you can qualify for the Champions League.
