Bellingham signs for Real Madrid but Klopp gives Ancelotti worst news of the year

Real Madrid have finally made the signing of Jude Bellingham official. A formality that has been awaited since Borussia Dortmund announced on 7 June that the deal with the Spanish club had been completed for a fee of 103 million euros plus variables.

Now it has been the white club that has formalised the operation, which was brought forward by BVB due to their stock market obligations. The deal had therefore already been confirmed for a few days, pending the official announcement on the Bernabéu club's official website.

Bellingham has signed for six seasons with his new club, i.e. a contract until 30 June 2029. This is more than enough time to shape the expected generational change in Madrid's midfield, a process that began with the signings of Camavinga and Tchoauméni and in which the arrival of the Englishman, one of those signings considered strategic, is a key part. A process in which they will be aided by veterans such as Kroos and Modric, with the Croatian strongly tempted by Saudi Arabian football but apparently ready to play next season at the club.
 

<strong>Klopp&#39;s response</strong>

Although Real Madrid kept Bellingham, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will deliver the worst news of the year to Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the Reds appear to have moved ahead in signing Italy's Federico Chiesa, a Juventus attacker who was also wanted at one point by Los Blancos.
