On May 15, German media "Sports Pictures" reported that Dortmund's senior officials have now unanimously decided to sign Job Bellingham, and they even promised the players during the meeting that they would give him a position as the main player. The report said that Dortmund's senior executives did not agree on many things, but for 19-year-old Job Bellingham, they have reached an agreement: the talented young player must be signed. If Dortmund can reverse the final round of the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League, then the probability of their signing of the midfielder will be greatly increased, because Job Bellingham wants to participate in the Champions League anyway next season.

"Sports Photos" reported a week ago that Job Bellingham is Dortmund's number one signing target, and Dortmund hopes to sign him with a transfer fee of between 25 million and 30 million euros. Shortly after the report, a high-level delegation composed of sports general manager Ricken, sports director Kyle, coach Kovac and chief scout Sebastian Kruger set out for England where they met with Bellingham's side.

In this meeting, in addition to his father Mark, Job himself was also present. For Dortmund, it is important to get the player himself and Kovac to know each other and express their high praise of him to him personally.

Dotter particularly emphasized two points: First, Job Bellingham will never join as a rotation player, but will be immediately planned as a main player and a key player; secondly, the Yellow and Black Legion will never want to copy the story of his brother Zude, but hope that Job can write his own Dortmund chapter.

Dortmund has been observing Job Bellingham's growth process for many years, and the scout team has conducted inspections on the spot for more than ten times. In Sunderland, he is one of the team's important pillars under head coach LeBris. What Dortmund executives value most are: his athletic ability, impact and breakthrough ability, tackle ability, and his flexibility in playing defense and offensive positions in the midfield.

In addition: Dortmund also looks at his personality. Phil Smith, a team reporter at the Sunderland Echo, said: "Although he is only 19 years old, Job Bellingham is already one of the leaders in the locker room. I think this shows his greatest advantage - he is very mature and smart. As we often say in England: he is the wise head on the young shoulders. He is undoubtedly the best player in the league!"

The only difficulty is that Dortmund is by no means the only club that wants to get Bellingham. Both Milan City clubs Inter and AC Milan are said to have expressed strong interest, while greater competition comes from Premier League teams: all top clubs have put Bellingham on the target list, and these clubs do not want to let the next Bellingham classic develop their career outside England after their older brother Zude.

However, the report also concluded that the past few weeks have shown that in Dortmund, everything seems to be possible at present.
