Jude Bellingham (20-Dortmund) is close to announcing his move to Real Madrid.
“Bellingham has agreed a six-year deal to join Real Madrid,” Spain’s Marca reported on Saturday. The final whistle of the 먹튀검증 2022-2023 German Bundesliga season will be blown on the 27th. Bellingham’s Dortmund are on the verge of winning their first Bundesliga title in 11 years. Real Madrid are expected to announce the signing of Bellingham as early as next week, after the Bundesliga concludes.
Bellingham is England’s next “wallflower” midfielder. English Premier League (EPL) clubs Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea were all in the running for his signature, but he chose Real Madrid.
A former Birmingham City player, Bellingham moved to Dortmund in the German Bundesliga in 2020. He made 42 appearances for the club this season, scoring 14 goals and providing seven assists. In the Bundesliga, he scored eight goals and provided four assists in 31 games.

Real Madrid offered Dortmund £87 million (approximately $143 million) for the player. There were higher bids from EPL clubs, but Dortmund had an organic relationship with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are hoping that Bellingham can replace the aging Toni Kroos, 33, and Luka Modric, 38. They’re also hoping he can help them shake off the “pain” of winning only one tournament this season, the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid were beaten by Barcelona in La Liga this season and knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City in the quarterfinals.
