Jobe Bellingham will sign for Borussia Dortmund, reports Fabrizio Romano and Patrick Berger. 

The 19-year-old midfielder will sign from Sunderland for a total package of €38m, including add-ons. The newly promoted Premier League side have also secured a 15% sell-on clause within the deal. 

The transfer will also be a record sale for Sunderland. 

Earlier in the week, BVB had an initial bid of €20m rejected. Wasting no time, the Bundesliga side came back with a fee that Sunderland simply could not refuse. 

Elsewhere, Bild have reported that Bellingham could complete his medical by either Tuesday or Wednesday next week. 

The Sunderland player has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga for some time, with both Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt showing keen interest. 

With family links to BVB, it never looked as if Bellingham would choose otherwise. He’ll be joining his older brother’s former club, where he also hopes to improve his game, just as his brother did.
