Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has completed a move to Borussia Dortmund.
The deal is worth an initial £27.8m (€33m) and includes a 15 per cent sell-on clause. It is the highest transfer fee the newly-promoted Premier League club have received and the second-highest Dortmund have paid.
Sunderland negotiated add-ons worth around £4.2m into the deal with Dortmund. Around £2.1m (€2.5m) of those add-ons are easily achievable, while the other half are more challenging.
Dortmund convinced Bellingham to follow the footsteps of his older brother, Jude, despite interest from Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.

Bellingham, whose brother played for the Bundesliga club for three seasons, helped Sunderland secure promotion back to the Premier League through the Championship play-off final after eight years away from the top flight.
Like his brother Jude, Jobe came through Birmingham City's youth academy and spent two years in the first team after making his debut in 2021 aged 16.
Sunderland signed him from the Blues in the summer of 2023 and he went on to score 11 goals in 90 games for the club, who won promotion to the top tier via the play-offs last month.
