Jobe Bellingham has joined Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland on a five-year contract until June 2030.
Sunderland say the fee is a club record, believed to be 32m euros (£26.96m) plus 5m euros (£4.2m) in add-ons.
The 19-year-old midfielder has played for the Black Cats since 2023, making 90 appearances, and helped them secure promotion to the Premier League last season.
Bellingham began his career at Birmingham City, coming through the academy before playing two years of senior football for the club.
In a statement, Bellingham said he is proud of the “strong” relationship he has with Sunderland supporters.
“I will always represent Wearside in all that I strive to achieve for the rest of my career, wherever that may be,” he said.
Bellingham was named Championship young player of the season for his performances during Sunderland’s promotion-winning campaign.
With the deal being completed by 10 June, Bellingham can play for Dortmund at the Club World Cup, which begins on Sunday.
Dortmund’s opening group game is against Brazilian side Fluminense on 17 June. Bellingham is following in the footsteps of older brother Jude by moving to the Bundesliga, as the England midfielder – who also came through the Birmingham City youth system – spent three years with Dortmund before joining Real Madrid in 2023.
