Real Madrid have announced the signing of the young talisman Jude Bellingham from German side Borussia Dortmund on a six-year contract. The 19-year-old moved to Germany from Birmingham City in 2020, but, the opportunity to play for his dream team has finally come to reality. Dortmund confirmed in a statement last week that Real Madrid have agreed to pay an initial €103m (£88.5m) to land Bellingham. Now the La Liga giants have announced the deal is done.
The statement reads, “Real Madrid CF and Borussia Dortmund have agreed on the transfer of the player Jude Bellingham, who will remain linked to our club for the next six seasons,” their statement read. “Tomorrow, Thursday, June 15, at 12:00 noon at Real Madrid City, the presentation ceremony for Jude Bellingham as a new Real Madrid player will take place.
“After, Jude Bellingham will appear before the media.”
Bellingham scored his first international goal in their World Cup win against Iran.
He has long been keen on a move to the 14-time European champions and recently said that he sees the Champions League as “the biggest stage”.
He said, “The goal has always been winning,”
“When you ask me what my biggest ambitions are in the game, it’s to win everything. And I’m not afraid to say that.
“Everyone should have that goal I feel like as professional footballers.”
