Jude Bellingham, 20, has watched his first training session since joining Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The England international moved from Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. He broke the record for the highest fee ever paid for an English player 먹튀검증 at his age.
The transfer fee was a whopping £115 million. It was £15 million more than Jack Grealish (Man City)’s £100 million two years ago.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti welcomed Bellingham’s arrival. Bellingham also met living legends such as Luka Modric (38) and Toni Kroos (33) for the first time.
Bellingham’s training began in earnest with a medical examination, followed by time on the bike and treadmill and heart rate checks. He was ruled out of England’s two Euro 2004 qualifiers last month with a knee injury.
“I’m ready to play, my knee is perfect,” Bellingham told Marca, “and I’m looking forward to playing at the Bernabeu. I’m ready to win,” Bellingham told Marca.
