(Football news) Jude Bellingham has joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund. The final fixed fee is €103 million with add ons that can go up to €40 million. There is no official announcement from Real Madrid yet but BVB has announced his departure with all the details. Real Madrid are likely to present Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabéu next week. According to reports Bellingham could wear the legendary number 7 which is available after Eden Hazard’s departure. He would prefer to wear 5 or 22 but those are already taken by Jesus Vallejo and Antonio Rudiger. 

Jude Bellingham will have a lot of competition at Real Madrid. Youngsters Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde have already settled in at the club while legends Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are still around. Dani Ceballos is another midfielder who is expected to stay at the club. Having said that the English should have no problem walking straight into the line-up. The good news for Carlo Ancelotti is that he has a very versatile midfield. The one thing he shouldn’t do is use a certain trio for all the games and not rotate which he has done in the past. 

Real Madrid’s transfer window has just about begun. Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano and Eden Hazard have left the club while Nacho and Dani Ceballos could also leave. Fran Garcia’s signing was the first one to be confirmed followed by Jude Bellingham. Now according to reports Los Blancos are working to sign Harry Kane but it will be difficult especially with Daniel Levy incharge. Kai Havertz was said to be another option but that has been discarded due to Chelsea’s asking price. Joselu and Rodrigo Moreno are two options to take Mariano’s place.
