BVB wants to try everything to delay the departure of Jude Bellingham. Apparently Dortmund would be willing to make the Englishman the best-paid player in club history.
The poker game surrounding Jude Bellingham is in full swing. The top European clubs have long since positioned themselves to secure the services of the upcoming world star in the summer. Real Madrid, Liverpool FC and Manchester City are considered to be the most interested parties – a fee of up to 150 million euros is anything but unrealistic.
But so far it has not been decided at all that Bellingham will actually leave BVB in summer 2023. Sure, if you had to bet, eight out of ten fans would bet on a farewell; but there is still a small residual hope on Strobelallee.
The picture reports that the Dortmunders also want to help in the financial area to make the decision for BVB a little easier for Bellingham. The plan is therefore to extend the contract, which runs until 2025, for another year and to award Bellingham an XXL salary increase in the process.
BVB would raise the salary from currently almost six million euros a year to around 15 million euros – a historical record for a Dortmund professional. So far, club legend Marco Reus has been the top earner at Black and Yellow with around twelve million euros.
But the truth is that the 18-year-old could probably earn a few million more in Madrid, Liverpool or Manchester. Although that shouldn’t be the top priority at his age…
