The questions of all questions of the Dortmund transfer summer: will Jude Bellingham stay or will the 19-year-old midfielder climb to the next and highest career level? As of now, Real Madrid and Manchester City are still in the draw.
One thing is clear: if Bellingham changes for a three-digit million transfer fee, Dortmund must top-class. The eyes of the black and yellow also seem to wander to the home of their top star. A major English newspaper reported in the ‘Daily Mail’ that the Bundesliga runners-up are dealing with Conor Gallagher.
Chelsea must sell
Bellingham’s compatriot still has a contract with Chelsea until 2025, but could fall victim to the Blues’ forced sale decreed by English Financial Fair Play in the summer. After the 600 million shopping spree, a lot of money has to be earned at Stamford Bridge.
According to the Daily Mail, Gallagher is one of the available Chelsea players. On the other hand, the 23-year-old eight as an English international (six appearances) should have a large market in the Premier League. It is not for nothing that the tabloid also reports that Liverpool FC and Newcastle United are interested.
Sounds like tough competition. With a Bellingham sale, BVB would have full pockets, but the black and yellow will probably not pay crazy sums. In any case, all of this is speculation as long as the B question asked at the beginning has not been answered.
