Clubs: Jude Bellingham’s aspiration journey from Birmingham to Real Madrid

Birmingham City Youth Academy (2010-2019)

In 2010, Jude Bellingham embarked on his football journey with the Birmingham City youth academy at the age of seven. He made his debut for the Under-23 team at the age of 15 in a game against Nottingham Forest’s Under-23s. He worked through the ranks over the following years and made his professional debut for the club in an EFL game against Portsmouth.

Gradually, he went on to make 43 appearances while scoring four goals and adding three assists across all competitions. His performances drew interest from several elite European clubs and in July 2020 he secured his transfer to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth €25 million.

The following season, Bellingham showcased his goalscoring prowess by bagging six goals and helping Dortmund finish second in the Bundesliga standings. At Dortmund, Bellingham has attracted interest for his technical ability, work rate and maturity which forced Real Madrid to make a move in the 2023 summer transfer window.

Real Madrid (2023-present)

Real Madrid has completed the signing of Jude Bellingham for £115 million and the youngster agreed on a six-year contract with the Galacticos. He’s one of the sought-after young talents in world football and has lit up the Spanish top flight in his debut season. He is currently the joint leader in the La Liga scoring charts after hitting 16 goals in his first 23 games.

Bellingham has also been clinical in the Champions League bagging four goals and four assists in just six appearances. His arrival last summer has breathed new life into the Real Madrid attack which has been struggling since the departure of club legend Karim Benzema.
