Bellingham set for exit? Dortmund chiefs make their decision | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is once again at the center of transfer rumors surrounding Jobe Bellingham. Internally, the BVB bosses have apparently made a clear decision.

In the summer, Jobe Bellingham was considered Borussia Dortmund's marquee signing. The 20-year-old moved from the English second division champion AFC Sunderland to BVB for around 30.5 million euros – but the hoped-for breakthrough has yet to materialize. After twelve competitive matches, the young Englishman has accumulated 413 minutes of play, two assists in the Champions League, but no goals of his own. A permanent starting position has eluded him so far.

Despite the mixed start, a departure from Dortmund is currently not being considered. As reported by Bild, those responsible, including Managing Director of Sport Lars Ricken and Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl, are not planning a transfer of the midfielder. According to the paper, a transfer is "completely out of the question." Even with an "immoral offer," the club's management would "hardly be swayed."

Recently, English media like the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express reported that Manchester United is closely monitoring the younger brother of Real star Jude Bellingham. The "Red Devils" are said to have even targeted the 20-year-old as a potential successor to Casemiro.

BVB Clearly Rejects Rumors About Bellingham: No Transfer in Winter

Crystal Palace is also said to be interested. However, Bellingham himself seems to clearly reject a quick departure – according to the Daily Mirror, an engagement with the Red Devils is not an option for the midfielder at this time.

At BVB, there is a strong belief in the potential of the Englishman. Lars Ricken recently made this unmistakably clear: "We don't just think from game to game. He has a long-term contract and we are happy that he is part of the BVB family." Head coach Niko Kovac also supports his protégé and wants to give him time to adapt to the Bundesliga and Dortmund's playing system.

This means that despite all the rumors about a possible return to the island, Jobe Bellingham remains a fixed part of Dortmund's future plans. The management continues to focus on development rather than quick fixes – and clearly rejects all transfer speculations.
