Do you think the efl will reduce any potential points reduction as Birmingham have committed to selling a player as they were meant to do in January. Or have they been forced to sell now.
Haven't seen enough of him but all the reports say he's a generational talent and one of the best 16 year olds anyone has seen in a long long time.
30m might seem a lot for a 16 year old but given how well Dortmund usually do in the transfer market (if they sign him), they'll know they can sell him back to a premier league club for 100m+ in 2-3 years time.
Birmingham certainly won't have any issues next season given that half of Europe is supposedly trying to sign Bellingham for 30m+ this summer.
I dont see how they are even getting that, he is 16 years old, he cant sign a pro contract until he is 17.
He doesnt turn 17 until 29th June, not sure how junior contracts work but surely he can just sign for a club abroad and a compensation package has to be agreed that wont be anywhere near £30 Million.
I could be wrong about that tho and Birmingham could already have a contract agreed with him for when he turns 17 so they get money but wasnt sure that was allowed
Him and his family are all huge Birmingham fans so they might not want to see the club ripped off for a few million compensation when they could get 30m+ if he signs a contract.
Also because there's so many big clubs interested in him, these clubs might be prepared to do a deal first rather than wait and see what a tribunal says?
In the same situation I am sure Charlton would realise about, erm... £700,000 in twelve yearly installments. We'd go back begging for £200,000 as the balance after twelve months mind you!
Dortmund have a great reputation for young players and rightly so. They will sell him in a year or two for a vast profit just as they will Sancho and Haaland.
That reputation is deserved for Dortmund and Bundesliga is a very good league to play in and learn in.

good all round
Other benefit is that they are happy to sell players to Bayern Munich.
If you sign for a top 6 club in England there almost zero chance you will be sold to another top 6 team. Thus, you are stuck there and do not have much options with you next move.
I Have not read this thread, but I have just seen on Sky that he played for Brum the other night and his transfer will not go through until after he plays in the game Wednesday, ARE YOU WATCHING LYLE TAYLOR

Very classy the way he finished the season at Brum AND made sure they got a big fee for him

Not any more. They made it a club policy about 18 months ago not to sell to Bayern any more.
Also regarding the top 6 here, in the main yes that is the case. But as City proved with the likes of Adebayor, Clichy, Nasri, Walker, and at the time when Liverpool weren't so good, Sterling, money still talks.
If United or City wanted to pay the money for Kane, Spurs would sell him to a top 6 rival.

Visited Man U today
I'm confused that players can't sign a pro deal until they are 17, yet there is still talk of a major transfer fee?

But i do agree it's a bit odd.
Allow them to sign Bellingham and then Dortmund knock £20m or however much the asking price for Sancho if United bid
The alternative is they could still sell Sancho and may not have signed Bellingham
It might just help stop the huge disparity in the premier league and the rest of the leagues and put some proper money back into grass roots football.

And as such the Club have decided it would be fitting to retire this number, to remember one of our own and to inspire others."
Bit embarrassing imo
