Real Madrid new signing raring to go ahead of pre-season: “I’m ready to win”
Real Madrid completed the signing of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund last month in a deal that cost the club €103 million with up to €30 million in bonuses. The race was hard-fought with Manchester City and Liverpool putting pressure on the Merengues throughout.
Yet, there was seldom any doubt over his next destination. Bellingham was firm-minded over his desire to don the white colours, and it was unsurprisingly his wish that dictated the direction of his transfer.
The youngster is seen as the long-term successor to Luka Modric by many. Yet, he presents a unique profile to Carlo Ancelotti in terms of delivering not only in midfield but also in front of goal.
The 20-year-old after all scored eight goals and provided four assists for his former club in last season’s Bundesliga with a strong presence in the final third. Further, he averaged 1.1 key passes per game and created eight big chances.
Los Blancos begin their preseason preparations later today at Valdebebas, with nine first-team players and several names from the Castilla prepared to join. Bellingham is one of the first-team stars prepared to join training from day one.
Speaking to MARCA before his first-ever training session for the Merengues, the English star did not hold back his excitement over starting a new chapter in his career and said,
“I’m ready to win.”
Bellingham then provided an update on the knee injury that plagued him towards the end of last season and revealed whether it would impact his training sessions beginning on Monday.
“I’m ready to play, the knee is in perfect condition.”
Finally, the midfielder took a moment to show his excitement over playing for the Real Madrid faithful and stepping onto the grasses at Santiago Bernabeu.
“I’m looking forward to playing at the Bernabéu for all Real Madrid fans.”

Real Madrid very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.
