Thames: Job Bellingham s transfer fee may exceed £25m after Sunderland upgrades

June 4th According to the Times, the transfer fee for Job Bellingham to join Dortmund may exceed 25 million pounds.

This season, Job Bellingham helped Sunderland return to the Premier League, and the 19-year-old midfielder has attracted the attention of three Bundesliga teams. Last week, he met with Frankfurt officials and talks with Leipzig representatives, but he was sure to follow in his brother's footsteps and join Dortmund.

Dort sports director Kyle flew to Ibiza to meet Job, who is on vacation with his brother. On Monday, Job confirmed that he would join Dortmund, and Sunderland and Kyle have since negotiated on transfer fees. Sunderland officially signed Roma player Lefey on Tuesday, and his transfer fee could reach £20 million.

Job's departure from Sunderland may be confirmed soon. His contract contains a 33 million termination clause. It is reported that Job and Sunderland's boss have reached an agreement that the transfer fee will be reduced to about 21 million pounds after the club is upgraded. If future additional terms are added, the initial transfer fee may increase by more than 5 million pounds. Dortmund hopes to close the deal before June 10 so that Job can catch up with the Club World Cup.
