January 12, whether Bellingham and Mukoko will meet this summer
Leaving Dortmund is a topic that has attracted much attention. In an interview with Sky Sports Germany a few days ago, the club CEO Watzke said that the situation of the two is completely different.
Bellingham’s contract will end in 2025, but many media believe that he is likely to leave the team this summer with a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros, and the destination may be Real Madrid or Liverpool.
However, Watzke emphasized: “As of now, Bellingham has not had any communication about wanting to end the contract early.”
And Mukoko’s contract will end at the end of the season, so Watzke said: “Bellingham’s situation is completely different. Mukoko’s contract ends in the summer, but Bellingham’s has two years left.
You can’t compare the two at all.”
As for the renewal of the contract with Mukoko, Watzke said: “The whole process is actually very normal. The only difference is that he is 18 years old and participated in the World Cup. All this makes things more public.
Be transparent. He’s trying to get a good position for himself and it’s legitimate.”
“But we have our own ideas, and that’s also legal. If we can’t agree, then the cooperation cannot continue. That’s the end result that could happen. But of course we want him to stay with us.”
