Jude Bellingham has completed his first day of training for Real Madrid following his whopping £133million transfer in June. 

The 20-year-old was signed for a British transfer record, agreeing a six-year deal with the club, and will follow in the footsteps of fellow Brits Gareth Bale and David Beckham, who also played for the LaLiga giants. 

Last week it was reported that Bellingham had received a good luck message before his first day from Beckham and had also been house hunting in the Spanish capital ahead of the move. 

Today, he was pictured in his first training session for the 14-time European champions, as several of the club’s players arrived at the Ana de Austria Building at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital in Madrid to complete a variety of fitness tests. 

The club also confirmed in a statement that the team would undergoing their first pre-season training session later this afternoon.

Bellingham was photographed donning his new training kit before posing for a picture with his new coach, Carlo Ancelotti. 

The Italian had previously made the midfielder a top priority in the transfer window, and he’ll now have plenty of high-quality options to choose from in the middle of the park, with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos both signing extensions to stay at the club. 

In a video posted on Twitter, Bellingham was also seen running on a treadmill, hooked up to all sorts of medical machines and was also pictured riding on an exercise bike. 

The Birmingham City academy graduate , who went on to score 24 goals in 132 games with Borussia Dortmund, could also slot into a position higher up field for the Galacticos, with rumours suggesting Ancelotti could opt to change to a 4-3-2-1 system.

The England star, who was pivotal for Gareth Southgate’s side at the 2022 World Cup, featured in all but three of Dortmund’s Bundesliga matches last season. 

His side agonisingly missed out on winning the German title last season in a dramatic final day that saw rivals Bayern Munich snatch the league title from right under their noses. 

Bellingham has since been enjoying his summer holidays and has notably been spending time with his brother, Jobe, exploring the south of France. 

But it’s been an exciting month for the family as after Jude unveiled his move to Madrid, Jobe was also announced as Sunderland’s latest acquisition too.
