That might keep him in Dortmund another year tbh

That is the direction, I think. Dortmund usually don't relent on their valuations, which Real Madrid don't appear to be willing to meet, and his injury seem serious, so much so he missed a crucial match while the league was on the line. Next summer at the same price is where this is heading.
 
Genuine question - not meant in a negative slant to Bellingham - but are there cases where a 19 year old has had knee surgery so young and come back with as much dynamism?

His game relies heavily on that and dribbling (turning) so might genuinely put teams paying £100m this Summer and seeing how he comes back next season before biting the bullet.

Messi was susceptible to injuries when he was young, but, with Guardiola's arrival, things got better. Of course, he never had needed a major surgery.

Sane was injured, deliberately I think. My impression was that his struggle at Bayern Munich was due to the loss of his physical talents. During the two legs against City, he looked the quickest and just as agile as he was prior to the injury. Sane was also brought back very slowly.

If Bellingham needs or opts for a surgery, then he should take a year and slowly bring himself back, preferrably disregarding any and all recommendations from Dortmund doctors.
 
He's played an insane amount of football as well for his age. Something I'd definitely be concerned about.

Madrid have been burned with Hazard but perhaps they will risk it.

Knee injuries are an absolute bastard for footballers, arguably the most important to get right and recover right. I’m still getting over R9’s injuries, he could’ve been the best ever but just lost all his explosiveness after knee surgery.

For Bellingham, being thrust into a new team (probably sooner than he should because of the fee) wouldn’t be the best move.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he sticks it out at Dortmund for a year and then the dippers come back next Summer. He’ll have 1 less year on his contract and they’ll have rebuilt this Summer and have chance to appease their fan base. Not to mention his dad in his ear for another 12 months…
 
Maybe he's played to many games for how young he is, knee surgery at 19 is bad. But he's not the only one Ansu fati injuries and now there's Pedri who can't stay fit for Barca he's getting injuries, Gavi as well.

Maybe young players are playing way to many games, Pep eased foden in, maybe their bodies can't handle this amount at their age. Pedri, Gavi and Bellingham have been non stop playing since their senior debut,

Bellingham has been playing with knee straps majority of the season.
