England's Jude Bellingham's Transfer to Real Madrid Makes Him Third Most Expensive Teenager
Midfielder's Move a Record Breaking Transfer
Jude Bellingham, an English professional footballer, has completed a 103 million euro transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid, making him the world's third most expensive teenager.
The deal surpasses the previous record set by Joao Felix, who moved from Benfica to Atletico Madrid for 126 million euros in 2019. The transfer also sets a new record for the highest fee paid by a Spanish club.
Bellingham has been a breakout star for Borussia Dortmund since joining the club from Birmingham City in 2020. He has made 89 appearances for the German club, scoring 9 goals and providing 19 assists.
The 19-year-old midfielder has also become a regular for the England national team, earning 15 caps since his debut in 2020. He played a key role in England's run to the Euro 2020 final.
Bellingham is expected to be a key player for Real Madrid in the coming seasons. The Spanish club is looking to rebuild after a disappointing campaign last season, and Bellingham is seen as a player who can help them challenge for major trophies.
