Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has held further talks with Jobe Bellingham over a potential move from Sunderland.
The 19-year old, who clinched promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland on Saturday, is expected to decide on his next career move next week.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Red Bull Leipzig are the other German clubs that have spoken to the 20-year-old.
The younger brother of Jude Bellingham already flew to Germany earlier this week to begin talks with Frankfurt where he was given a tour of facilities.
A number of Premier League sides also hold interest, but initial indications are Bellingham is preparing to follow a similar path to his brother Jude who extolled the benefits of life in Germany with Dortmund.
