Matthias Sammer caused a stir on Tuesday evening with his spicy statements about the future of Jude Bellingham. The management of Borussia Dortmund is said to have been irritated by the BVB consultant’s statements.
As “Sport1” reports, Sammer’s statements about Bellingham were “not well received at all” by the BVB bosses. Accordingly, the consultant’s interview caused “irritation”.
When asked by “Amazon Prime Video” about Bellingham’s suitability for an absolute world club like Real Madrid, Sammer put forward a quite surprising thesis.
“He would at least get a better education than in Dortmund. Because of course a 19-year-old sometimes has a few nonsense off the field and sometimes on the field too, which is completely normal for his development. I think that you have to influence it,” said the 55-year-old on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and ManCity (1-1).
Sammer added: “If he stays in Dortmund, he will continue to mature there. If he comes to a club like this, he has to adapt faster and more thoroughly. He will decide whether he wants to.”
Statements that annoyed those responsible at BVB according to “Sport1”. Finally, the Revierklub has been trying to keep the topic of change around Bellingham as small as possible for weeks.
The fact that chief adviser Sammer continued to simmer the rumor mill caused “surprise”.
Will Bellingham sign with Real Madrid until 2029?
Bellingham has been associated with a farewell to Borussia Dortmund for weeks. The England international has reportedly already agreed a summer move with Real Madrid.
According to media reports, the 19-year-old should sign with the Spaniards until 2029 and earn 20 million euros a year.
