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.
After three years at Dortmund, Jude – who spoke to his brother via video call after the play-off final – went on to join Real Madrid, where he is now a Real Madrid regular.

The elder Bellingham won a Champions League medal last year, Madrid beating his old club Dortmund in the final.
Sunderland have been aware of ongoing interest in Jobe since January. His previous club Birmingham City are also due a significant sell-on.
The newly-promoted Premier League outfit would be keen to keep hold of the midfielder, but would earn a decent fee if he was to leave.
