Borussia Dortmund have announced on Wednesday that 19-year-old English player Jude Bellingham would move from the German club to Real Madrid for a sum in excess of 100m euros ($107m).
A “mutual agreement” between the two teams over the transfer of the 19-year-old has been reached, according to Dortmund.
The publicly listed club stated that it will get a price of 103m euros in addition to a variable sum “up to a maximum total amount of around 30 percent” of the fixed transfer cost, based on team and player bonuses.
Bellingham, one of the most talented players in the world of football, transferred from Birmingham City to Dortmund in 2020.
He has played 132 games for the club, scoring 24 goals and winning the 2021 German Cup.
Bellingham was named Bundesliga player of the season after the 2022-23 campaign, when he helped Dortmund to within an inch of their first Bundesliga title in over a decade.
