Jude Bellingham has signed a contract with Real Madrid until 2029

Just 19-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham has been impressing since arriving at Borussia Dortmund.

The Englishman was one of the Bundesliga’s runners-up in a season that saw them miss out on the title in the final stages.

Although he was also wanted by Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United or Liverpool, Bellingham ultimately chose Madrid.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real will pay Dortmund 103 million euros plus bonuses, but the Germans will also receive 30% of the future transfer.

Jude Bellingham, who has signed a contract with the Spaniards until June 2029, joined Borussia three years ago from Birmingham City.
