The question of Jude Bellingham’s future at Borussia Dortmund has kept the media busy for months. So far, everyone has agreed that the 19-year-old will leave BVB at the end of the current season and pay an enormous transfer fee to the black and yellow coffers. However, a report from England now questions Dortmund’s comfortable negotiating position.
Jude Bellingham’s contract with Borussia Dortmund does not end until the summer of 2025, the youngster regularly conjures up outstanding performances on the pitch and is said to have made the mouths of the entire European football elite water: BVB can actually sit back and wait and see how football celebrities from Spain and England hit each other with mega offers – at least that was the tenor so far.
However, the “Daily Mail” now claims to have learned a piquant contract detail that severely weakens BVB’s position: Bellingham is said to have an exit clause with Borussia, the English newspaper suspects. Accordingly, the midfielder can join a new employer for “only” 68 million euros in the summer.
Ultimately, Bellingham can choose almost freely where his future lies. From Spain, Real Madrid is considered a hot contender for a deal, in the Premier League Chelsea FC, Manchester City and especially Liverpool FC are said to have the best cards.
BVB star “a really good player”
Liverpool team manager Jurgen Klopp recently gushed: “I don’t like talking about money when it comes to a player like him. Everyone can see that he’s just exceptional. […] With all that he can and can still improve, I would say that the things that he can do are difficult to learn and the things that he can improve are easy to learn,” Klopp continued Anthem continued: Bellingham was “a really good player”.
Words to suggest Liverpool would leave no stone unturned for €68m. However, the existence of the clause is “not confirmed”, the “Daily Mail” takes some wind of their surprising revelation.
So far, it has always been assumed that a sum of between 100 and 150 million euros would be due for a deal.
