One Bellingham did great at Borussia, maybe it’s time for another. The club executives from Dortmund know very well how to operate in the market, and that’s why, even before the end of a season in which they still haven’t secured a European spot, they’ve begun moving for reinforcements. And that includes Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham—formerly a Borussia star and now a key player for Real Madrid.⤵️ RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are in the race to sign Jobe #Bellingham.Leipzig are still pushing hard. But even more teams are in the race … ✔️🏴 https://t.co/eJX0LcXjlv— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) May 7, 2025 The Sunderland central midfielder has been on the German club’s radar for weeks, and on Wednesday a delegation from the Bundesliga side spent several hours in England to meet with the Championship club’s officials, as well as the player himself, to thoroughly assess the possibility of the 19-year-old from Stourbridge moving to Westfalenstadion. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl, his boss Lars Ricken, and head coach Niko Kovač were in Newcastle, where they discussed the potential transfer of the younger Bellingham. Newcastle was chosen as a convenient location because it’s close to Sunderland, where Jobe is preparing for the playoff semifinal clash against Coventry for promotion to the Premier League. The city also has good ties with Germany, so the Borussia Dortmund leaders and coach returned home last night. The general feeling is that they’re in a good starting position to successfully conclude the negotiations—under one condition: that they secure qualification for UEFA competitions, depending on the results of their final two league matches against Leverkusen and Holstein Kiel.Serhou Guirassy – Barca’s nightmare and African beastSunderland is reportedly demanding around 30 million euros for the player, who has played 40 matches this season, scoring four goals and assisting three. Last season, he was even more efficient (seven goals for the Black Cats). A potential problem for Dortmund could be Leipzig, which is also in the race for the former Birmingham talent’s signature—even though he initially seemed too expensive for them. Now, he no longer is. Besides Leipzig, Leverkusen is also mentioned, as well as Premier League clubs like Tottenham and Crystal Palace. Still, the Germans are confident that their strong relationship with Jude Bellingham could help secure the signing of his younger brother. At the same time, Borussia will also become active on the South American market. Their target is 19-year-old Palmeiras striker, Luis Guilherme (Luigi), whom the Black and Yellows see as a potential successor to Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The Brazilians value Luigi between 20 million and 25 million euros.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE – SEMI-FINALSThursday22:00: (3.00) Bodo (3.50) Tottenham (2.30)22:00: (2.10) Man.Utd.
