OFFICIAL: Dortmund confirm deal with Real Madrid for Bellingham

What was an open secret has finally been confirmed. Bourssia Dortmund star and England international Jude Bellignham has signed for Real Madrid until June 2029. Terzic's team confirmed an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of the player on their official website.

Although big clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester City were trying to sign the player, it will finally be 'Los Blancos' who will enjoy a generational talent at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham has become the star of the German team these last two years and one of the key players of the English national team, playing incredibly well at the World Cup in Qatar.

In this way, the 'Merengues' would be building one of the best midfields in world football and one that will last for many years to come due to its youth. Bellingham would be added to the already established Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouameni. In addition these youngsters will have the experience of Toni Kroos, who is said to have already signed his contract, and Luka Modric, who is likely to remain at Madrid next season as well.

This season ended on a bittersweet note for the former Birmingham City player after Dortmund failed to win the Bundesliga trophy in the final game of the season after drawing with Mainz as Bayern did their job against Koln and took all three points to win an 11th Bundesliga title in a row. 

However, Bellingham has excelled to perfection for his team in the last season. He has played 42 games in all competitions, 39 of which he has started. It has been his highest scoring year with 14 goals and he has also provided 6 assists.

Despite having landed one of the most sought-after players on the market, Real Madrid do not seem to have enough with the young Englishman. The 'Merengues' after confirming the departures of Benzema, Mariano and Asensio; consider going all out in the market and reinforce the squad to fight for all the titles next season.
