In a major transfer development, Jobe Bellingham is officially on his way to Borussia Dortmund in a deal that marks a significant moment for both Sunderland and the Bundesliga giants.

Renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano broke the news on X (formerly Twitter), confirming that the highly-rated English midfielder will join Dortmund for a €33 million fixed fee, with €5 million in add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause included in the agreement.

This transfer not only represents a record sale for Sunderland AFC, but also marks the continuation of a remarkable family legacy at Signal Iduna Park.

Just a few years ago, Jobe’s older brother Jude Bellingham burst onto the global football stage through his performances at Dortmund before making a headline move to Real Madrid.

Now, Jobe follows in his footsteps, poised to carve out his own legacy in black and yellow.

Borussia Dortmund had initially tabled a €20 million offer, but Sunderland stood firm, demanding better value for one of their brightest prospects.

Their patience has paid off with a deal that firmly places Jobe among the most expensive players in the club’s history.

This signing is seen as a major coup for Dortmund, who continue to prioritize youth development and smart recruitment.

With Jobe’s versatility, composure, and technical quality, he is expected to integrate smoothly into Dortmund’s dynamic midfield setup.

As the club prepares for the 2025/26 season, fans will be eager to see what this new Bellingham can bring.

One thing is certain: Borussia Dortmund’s faith in young talent remains unwavering — and the Bellingham name is back in the Bundesliga spotlight.

In a dramatic twist to one of the summer’s most anticipated transfer sagas, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has rejected a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal—despite a reported agreement between the club and Napoli for a €75 million transfer fee.

Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Sunday, June 8, stating that Osimhen personally turned down the lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League club. The development comes even after weeks of negotiations that saw Al Hilal and Napoli reach a consensus on the financial terms of the deal.

However, Osimhen, who remains one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards, appears uninterested in making a switch to the Middle East at this stage of his career.

The rejection has opened the door for other clubs, with Turkish giants Galatasaray reportedly set to push hard for his signature. Romano noted that Galatasaray will “insist” on signing the Nigerian international, reigniting competition among European clubs eager to secure the striker’s services.

Osimhen, 26, has enjoyed a prolific stint at Napoli, playing a key role in their Serie A title triumph in 2023. His combination of speed, power, and finishing ability has drawn attention from several top European clubs in recent transfer windows.

With the Saudi move now off the table, speculation is likely to intensify over Osimhen’s next destination. As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on Napoli and Galatasaray—along with any other contenders that may enter the race.

Following a devastating 3-0 loss to Norway a few days ago, former Serie A champion Luciano Spalletti is now expected to leave the Italian national team.

According to sources, Spalletti and the FIGC had a crucial meeting yesterday, which put the former manager of Napoli and Inter in danger of losing his position.

The veteran is expected to leave the Azzurri, according to Sky Italia. His decision and the rationale behind it will shortly be made public.

Fabrizio Romano has stated exactly the same and is certain that the voyage will come to an end.

Right now, Daniele de Rossi has also been linked to a departure, and Stefano Pioli is the front-runner to take over.

After leading a lackluster Euros campaign the previous year, Spalletti’s tenure as Azzurri’s manager has been lackluster.
