What David Beckham told Jude Bellingham after his move to Real Madrid

Former Birmingham City midfielder Jude Bellingham is preparing for his first season with Real Madrid after his move from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

The 19-year-old, who left Blues in 2020 for a fee of £25 million, has put pen to paper on a six-year contract at The Bernabeu.

Bellingham becomes the most expensive British player of all time as he has cost Madrid an initial £88 million and that could soon rise to around £113 million after add-ons. The move follows three very successful campaigns with Dortmund, as Bellingham scored 24 goals and assisted 25 in 132 appearances.

And Bellingham has revealed that he received a good luck message from another former English Galactico. David Beckham, who moved from Manchester United to Real in 2003, sent him a good luck message after he completed his move.

“David Beckham messaged me briefly to wish me all the best,” Bellingham told the Daily Mail. “It is one of those moves where everyone has their input from the outside so you do hear a lot of things and advice, I am quite good at filtering out the good from the bad, so far it has been really positive from ex-players. I will try and take that on board and at some point maybe get in touch with them and see how they adapted to life in Spain.”
