After Borussia Dortmund published the agreement on the transfer of Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid last week, which would cost at least 103 million euros, everything is now formally perfect. Los Blancos have confirmed the 19-year-old midfielder’s signature for six years, with Bellingham due to be unveiled at 12pm on Thursday at the Ciudad Real Madrid training ground.
With bonuses, Bellingham Real can even cost up to 133.9 million euros, which can make the national player not only the most expensive Madrilenian in history, but also the second most expensive Bundesliga and BVB departure. The records are currently held by Eden Hazard, for whom 115 million went to Chelsea in 2019, and Ousmane Dembélé, for whom FC Barcelona transferred 135 million euros to Dortmund, including all bonuses due so far.
