A potential return to Sunderland in January has been discussed, with other clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham showing interest.

However, Bellingham wants to stay at Dortmund and prove himself in the German league.

Dortmund's management is also supportive of keeping Bellingham, believing in his abilities and potential.

Even a significant offer from another club would not persuade Dortmund to sell, as they are willing to give Bellingham time to grow and develop.
