  EXPERT TAKE

  ESPN’s Sam Tighe looks at the future for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.

  It’s been a dramatic start to bellingham’s Borussia Dortmund career. A sum of £27m plus add-ons was paid in order to rush him through the door in time to participate in the Club World Cup, suggesting the 20-year-old was front and center in manager Niko Kovac’s mind.

  Though, as the start of the 2025-26 season, he’s been on the outside looking in, totaling just 300 minutes in all competitions, as kovac more frequently turns to a midfield combination of Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha.That’s led to some reported disgruntlement from the Bellingham camp.

  For now,he’ll just have to be patient. Dortmund have started the season extremely well, look unusually solid and are unbeaten in the Bundesliga. An opportunity will arise at some stage, so he needs to be coiled and ready to spring.

  Jumping ship to Manchester United so soon would be a huge mistake — especially given young, developing players have not exactly thrived at Old Trafford in recent years. Having mentioned that, they are crying out for the type of athleticism and energy Bellingham brings to a midfield, so it would be understandable if the Red Devils are indeed keeping a watchful eye on this situation.
