Despite the interest from Germany, Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus remains "determined" to hold of Bellingham, according to the Guardian's Ed Aarons. Talks may have taken places with other clubs but it's still not known if the Black Cats will sanction a sale following the club's promotion to the English top flight. Bellingham is contracted to Sunderland until the end of the 2027-28 season.
