BVB and Bellingham should agree on a cooperation from summer. Even more: The teenager is even said to be Borussia’s record transfer. Around 35 million euros are under discussion. The most expensive player in the club’s history so far is Mats Hummels, for whom BVB paid 30.5 million euros last summer.
“We don’t buy superstars, we create them”
According to transfermarkt.de, Bellingham’s market value is already twelve million euros. The English junior international is fourth in the list of the most valuable U17 professionals worldwide. For comparison: BVB shoting star Giovanni Reyna (17) appears in 13th place (six million euros) in the ranking led by Barcelona’s Ansu Fati (17/40 million euros).
Bellingham fits perfectly into Dortmund’s loot scheme! BVB youth coordinator Lars Ricken (43) recently said: “We don’t buy superstars, we create them.” In this case, the club pays at least a transfer fee that was paid for superstars not too long ago.
