Borussia Dortmund’s teenage sensation, Jude Bellingham, has been named Bundesliga Player of the Season after an incredible 2022–23 season. Bellingham may still feel like he couldn’t do enough and get the results he wanted this season, but he still enjoyed a fantastic year as his team, Borussia Dortmund, fell just short of lifting the Bundesliga title after a draw against Mainz in the title decider match. If Dortmund had secured a win against Mainz, they would have taken the Bundesliga home. Follow La Liga 2022–23 LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN.

Jude Bellingham to leave Dortmund
According to Borussia Dortmund’s official website, Juge Bellingham said, “Every year or half year that I’ve played at the club, my responsibility in the team has increased. I have to continue to be everywhere on the pitch and try my best to contribute going forwards and backwards and try and control games, try to dominate the midfield.”
He added, “My teammates, the coaches and the staff have helped me to develop, I came to the club as a talented lad, but I have added elements to my game that have taken it to the next level and I think that’s down to them, mainly.”
He concluded by saying, “I have put the work in, but it’s them (team members) that have put me in the environment to make it happen. They have added a kind of leadership side to my game too, I want my teammates to see that I’m always doing everything I can to make sure we win. If we lose a game, I’m the worst person.”
There are speculations that Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have already struck a deal worth Pound 108 million (USD 133 mn), with Pound 87 mn (USD 107.4 mn) guaranteed and a further Pound 21 mn (USD 26 mn) in performance-related add-ons.
