Borussia Dortmund have announced the arrival of Jobe Bellingham, brother of former star Jude, on a potential £32million deal.
Bellingham earned promotion from the Championship with Sunderland via the play-offs before signing terms with his brother’s former side, with the Black Cats earning an initial £27.8m.
The deal also includes a further £4m in add-ons, with the Black Cats set to profit hugely from the teenager’s sale to the Bundesliga giants.
It is understood that the 19-year-old has penned terms on a five-year contract, with Dortmund set to compete in the Club World Cup later this month.
Bellingham knows the club well, something he mentions in the club’s announcement video, having watched his brother play there on a number of occasions during Jude’s three-year stay.
However he was insistent that he has not joined in order to follow in the now Real Madrid star’s footsteps, but to carve his own path.
