- Signings A new era at Real Madrid: 7 possible casualties, the '9' for Harry Kane, the helm for Bellingham and the illusion for Mbappé
Jude Bellingham, Borussia Dortmund's 19-year-old English midfielder, will be Real Madrid's first signing for next season. According to The Athletic and has been able to confirm EL MUNDO, the white team has reached an agreement for the transfer of the player for a figure of around 100 million euros. While waiting for the official statement, which will arrive in the next few hours, the British will sign for six seasons and complete a dream midfield with Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Kroos, Modric, Valverde and Ceballos, which has advanced its renovation.
Bellingham is an international with England, with which he has played the last European Championship and the last World Cup, and has been named best player of the season in the Bundesliga, where his team lost the title against Bayern on the last day.
Despite not reaching twenty (he will turn 20 on the 29th of this month), Bellingham has already spent several campaigns at the highest level of European football and was one of the most coveted pieces of the market, with Liverpool as Madrid's main competitor in the race to sign him. During the first months of the year, the technical direction of the white team has fought to convince the player, who was debating between the Premier League and the Bernabéu, and in the capital they did not have too much confidence in winning the battle. However, the player's desire and the excellent relations between the Real Madrid leadership and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke have weighed in Bellingham's final decision.
