Jobe Bellingham is set for a big pay rise after completing his move from Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund.

Jobe Bellingham has signed a five-year deal with Borussia Dortmund after helping Sunderland gain promotion back to the Premier League.

The 19-year-old has just enjoyed a fine individual campaign with the Black Cats, helping them to promotion after a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Wembley in the play-off final.

Bellingham was an integral part of Regis Le Bris’ XI this season, and his form saw him named as Championship Young Player of the Year. Therefore, despite winning promotion, there has been plenty of speculation surrounding the future of the midfielder.

And, it’s Dortmund who have won the race for Bellingham’s signature, with the Wearside outfit confirming he had departed in a ‘club-record’ deal.

Further reports have claimed that Dortmund will pay over £27m for the player, with further add-ons meaning the deal could eventually exceed £30m.

As you would expect, Bellingham is also in line for a pay rise, with Sky Sports’ journalist Keith Downie stating the teenager will now earn around £70,000 a week with the Bundesliga side.

That won’t have been the prime motivation for Bellingham with this deal, as Dortmund provides him with the platform to compete for trophies both domestically and in Europe, with featuring in the Champions League a massive appeal for the youngster.

With the deal having gone through this week, Bellingham could make his debut for the Black and Yellow against Fluminense in the Club World Cup next week.

Jobe Bellingham will be ready for next step of his career

It’s a shame for Sunderland fans that they didn’t get to see Bellingham in the Premier League, but this is a good deal for all parties.

From Bellingham’s perspective, the chance to join Dortmund is one that’s difficult to turn down due to their status as a top European club, even though it would have been tough to miss out on top-flight football for now.

Both Jobe, and his brother Jude, have made smart career decisions as they look to reach the top of the game, and this is the clear next step for Jobe.

So, whilst his time at the Stadium of Light was short, he has helped move the club forward, and he will leave with everyone’s blessing, and it will be interesting to see how he copes with the pressure and spotlight that comes with playing for Borussia Dortmund.
