England midfielder Bellingham signs with Real Madrid

England midfielder Jude Bellingham has completed his move to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund by signing a six-year deal with his new club on Thursday.

Bellingham posed with his new No. 5 shirt before Madrid's packed trophy case after he passed his medical exam and signed the contract alongside club president Florentino Pérez.

Despite reportedly being a transfer target for several top European clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, Bellingham opted to move to the Spanish club that has won the European Cup a record 14 times.

Madrid did not confirm the transfer fee, but Dortmund said in a statement to the stock exchange last week that it could reach more than 130 million euros ($139 million).
