Bellingham finding his feet as Dortmund head to City
The Citizen
|November 05, 2025
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham (right) is gradually making his mark after a slow start ahead of his return to England to face Manchester City tonight.
-
Jobe joined Dortmund in the summer aged 19 for a reported fee of €30.5 million from Sunderland, among the most expensive transfers in Dortmund’s history.
Jobe followed in the footsteps of his brother Jude, who moved to the Westfalenstadion five years earlier, aged 17.
Jude became one of the most sought-after players at Dortmund and is now a true superstar after moving to Real Madrid in 2023.
While Jobe has returned to England to play for the under-21s side he captains, tonight’s match will be his first on English soil for his new club.
Like City, Dortmund sit in the top eight, having won two and drawn one of their three Champions League games so far.
