Real Madrid's acquisition of Jude Bellingham has sent football fans into a frenzy as the Spanish club regenerates their midfield.
Bellingham, who appeared on the radar of some top European clubs, was announced as Los Blancos' latest signing on Wednesday, June 14.
After a successful three-season stint, the Englishman bids farewell to Borussia Dortmund, having earned the prestigious accolade of Bundesliga Player of the Year in the past season, per Bavarian Football Works.
As reported by the BBC, a deal worth €103 million (£88.5mil) has seen the Spanish giants secure the 19-year-old's services for the next six years, with more in potential add-ons.
With these additions, Bellingham's deal could soar to an impressive €133.9mil (£115mil).
Bellingham's arrival marks another significant step in Real Madrid's midfield transformation as the club continues to rejuvenate their squad.
The addition of the talented young Englishman, along with the presence of French prospects, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, signals a transition away from seasoned veterans like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
