"Next, Jude Bellingham will appear before the media."

The former Birmingham City star has signed a six-year deal with Real, and the Championship side will collect another £10m thanks to a sell-on clause inserted into the deal when he joined Dortmund in 2020.

The Blues received £25m when they initially sold him to the Bundesliga side.

The England midfielder was Carlo Ancelotti's top target this summer.

The move is a huge coup for Madrid, with Bellingham already rated as a world-beater at just 19.

He scored 24 goals in 132 games for Dortmund, winning the German Cup in 2021.

But Bellingham failed to land a title after his side blew their Bundesliga hopes on the final day of the season.

He is now set to be thrust straight into Real's starting XI, with Luka Modric's future still in doubt as his contract winds down.

Real are collecting some of football's best youngsters, including fellow midfielders Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchoumeni.

Bellingham is Real's second permanent signing of the summer as he follows Rayo Vallecano left-back Fran Garcia through the doors at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
