Real Madrid announced the signing of England midfielder Jude Bellingham from German club Borussia Dortmund for 103 million euros on Wednesday. The 19-year-old has agreed to terms with the 14-time European champions on a six-year deal. With a 103 million euro ($110 million) deal, Madrid made the 19-year-old one of the most expensive players in history. On Thursday, June 15, he will be presented to the fans and will address the media later that day. With his new contract, Bellingham becomes the most expensive British footballer.
The Spanish club said in an official statement, “Real Madrid CF and Borussia Dortmund have agreed on the transfer of the player Jude Bellingham, who will be linked to our club for the next six seasons. 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.

At the Qatar World Cup in 2022, Bellingham led England to the quarterfinals, where they were defeated by eventual runners-up France.
