According to BILD, Jobe Bellingham has faced a slow beginning at Borussia Dortmund following his transfer from Sunderland this summer, leading to feelings of disillusionment within the German club. Despite initial excitement surrounding the 19-year-old’s €30.5m move, it appears that he has yet to make a significant impact on the team, causing him to feel like an outsider rather than a star player.
However, Dortmund remains calm about the situation and is committed to supporting Bellingham as he adjusts to the Bundesliga. Coach Niko Kovac plans to continue giving the midfielder ample playing time in hopes that he will quickly integrate into the team’s system. Although there have been disappointing performances, they are focusing on the positive and drawing parallels to Jadon Sancho’s development at the club.
Despite tensions between Bellingham’s father and sporting director Sebastien Kehl, Dortmund remains optimistic that with time and patience, the midfielder will follow a similar trajectory to Sancho and ultimately become a key player for the team.
