May 20th According to German Sky Sports, Dortmund hopes to introduce Bellingham Jr. and Cherky this summer.

Dortmund has qualified for the Champions League next season and will continue to sign and strengthen the team this summer. Dortmund fell in love with Sunderland midfielder Job Bellingham and hoped to sign him in early June to allow Bellingham Jr. to participate in the Club World Cup with the team. Bellingham Jr. is willing to join Dortmund, but Dortmund has not reached a formal agreement with the players.

In early May, Borussia Dortmund club senior manager and coach Kovac went to England to conduct preliminary negotiations on the transfer of Bellingham Jr. Germany's Sky Sports said further negotiations are planned this week. Bellingham Jr. is currently focusing on playing the Premier League upgrade playoff for Sunderland this Saturday, and Dortmund will officially offer a offer to buy it.

Bellingham Jr. has made 42 appearances this season, scoring 3 goals and assisting 4 times, and his transfer fee is at least 25 million to 30 million euros. Leipzig and Frankfurt are also interested in players, but Sky Sports in Germany believes that the chances of signing Bellingham Jr. are small.

In addition to Bellingham Jr., Dortmund also hopes to introduce French winger Cherki this summer. Dortmund twice sought to buy Cherki last summer and in January this year, and they are still interested in the players. After the last round of the Ligue 1 this season, Cherki has officially announced that he will bid farewell to Lyon, who has played for six years.

During the winter transfer period, Dortmund reached a franchise agreement with Cherki and offered a purchase of 22.5 million euros, but Lyon said that Dortmund's offer came too late at that time, resulting in the final failure of the transfer. This season, Cherki made 44 appearances for Lyon, scoring 12 goals and assisting 20 times. With his outstanding performance, he has attracted the attention of more strong teams.

Cherki and Lyon's contract expires in 2026. Lyon has not yet determined the asking price for him, but it is estimated to be between 25 million and 30 million euros. In addition to Dortmund, some Premier League and Serie A teams are interested in Cherki, and Paris Saint-Germain was also very close to signing Cherki last summer.
