Real Madrid has made it official: they have secured the services of Jude Bellingham, the talented midfielder from England, in a groundbreaking transfer deal. The Spanish football giants confirmed the signing on Wednesday, revealing that the agreement with Borussia Dortmund is valued at €103m ($111.29 million), with additional add-ons included.
Unfortunately, due to an injury, Bellingham will not be able to participate in England’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. However, fans won’t have to wait long to see him in action for his new team, as Real Madrid plans to unveil him as their player on Thursday. The contract he has signed is set to last for an impressive six years.
The negotiation between Dortmund and Real Madrid was completed last week, with both clubs reaching an understanding. The deal not only involves the significant base amount but also includes add-ons that have the potential to elevate the total value by up to 30 percent.
Real Madrid expressed their delight over the signing in an official statement, declaring that they have acquired one of the most exceptional talents in the world. They emphasized Bellingham’s successful stint with Borussia Dortmund, where he was recognized as the best player in the Bundesliga. Additionally, despite being just 19 years old, he has already established himself as a key player in the English national team.
Prior to joining Dortmund, Bellingham had attracted interest from numerous prominent European clubs. In 2020, he made a move from Birmingham City to Dortmund for a hefty fee of £25m ($31.17 million), making him the most expensive 17-year-old player in the history of football.
This high-profile transfer to Real Madrid marks a significant milestone in Jude Bellingham’s promising career. As he prepares to embark on this new chapter, fans and football enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate witnessing his growth and impact on the world stage.
