Borussia Dortmund confident of completing Jobe Bellingham signing from Sunderland
Borussia Dortmund are increasingly confident of signing Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland despite interest from Eintracht Frankfurt. As yet, there is no agreement between Dortmund and Sunderland over a transfer fee, but sources close to the deal, speaking on condition of anonymity, were confident that a deal would be struck. Advertisement Jobe is set to emulate his older brother, Jude Bellingham, by making the move to the German team. Jude moved to Dortmund for £20million in 2020 from Birmingham City, aged 17. Jobe played a key role in Sunderland's promotion to the Premier League during the 2024-25 campaign. Deployed in defensive and box-to-box midfield roles by head coach Regis Le Bris, he made 43 appearances and played the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 play-off final victory over Sheffield United. After the play-off final, Jobe and his parents travelled to Germany to meet with officials at Frankfurt, including head coach Dino Toppmoller and sporting director Markus Krosche, having previously toured the club's facilities in the weeks before. The meeting is said to have gone well; Frankfurt have developed an excellent reputation in their own right for developing young players. But Dortmund have been staging their own charm offensive. Head coach Niko Kovac, sporting director Sebastian Kehl and CEO for sport Lars Ricken all visited Jobe in England at the end of April, with CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke also travelling to the north east on a separate visit. Most recently, in a show of Dortmund's commitment, Kehl flew to Ibiza, where the Bellingham family were on holiday, to further state his club's case. Like his older brother, Jobe came through Birmingham's academy and went on to make 26 first-team appearances. Sunderland signed the then-17-year-old midfielder in the summer of 2023, on the same day Jude signed for Real Madrid. Brentford were interested in signing the teenager last summer, as were Crystal Palace, but Jobe instead signed a contract extension last August, extending his terms until the summer of 2028. Sunderland return to the Premier League next season for the first time in nine years. They suffered back-to-back relegations after finishing the 2016-17 Premier League campaign in 20th position with 24 points. Jobe made 90 appearances for Sunderland, scoring 11 goals and assisting four. Additional reporting: Philip Buckingham

Fresh injury concerns set to sideline Bayern Munich's Kim Min-Jae through Club World Cup
Sport Bild reports that fresh injury concerns will cause Bayern Munich central defender Kim Min-Jae to miss the coming club World Cup. According to the tabloid, the Bundesliga professional is struggling with both inflammation in his left Achilles tendon and a fluid filled cyst in his foot. The report claims that a return for the South Korean centre-back is not planned until mid-to-late July. Bayern are known to be considering selling Kim this summer, meaning that it could be the case that the 28-year-old has indeed played his last game for the German record champions. A separate Sport Bild report provides an update on Kim's Bayern central defensive colleague. Dayot Upemecano is back on the training pitch following his knee surgery, yet still taking it slowly. Advertisement Upamecano completed dribbling exercises through small cones, long passes, runs on the running ladder, and even longer sprints. However, during training, he signaled slight discomfort in his right groin. The problems were not serious enough to force Upamecano to stop training. The nature of Upamecano's injury still doesn't render it likely that he'll be ready for playing time until the end of June. GGFN | Peter Weis
