Jude Bellingham used to be a goalkeeper possibility for Birmingham City, but now he plays for Real Madrid and his new home is as perfect as it gets.
The English player moved to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund this week for a possible £113.5 million. He was born in Stourbridge, Dudley, and started out playing for his hometown team.
The 19-year-old hasn’t looked back since moving from the Championship to the Bundesliga, and his new home in Madrid shows how far he has come.
Take it from his new Real Madrid teammates, like Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric, Antonio Rudiger, and others: he should move into either the La Finca or La Moraleja neighborhood.
Bellingham can experience a new level of splendor. It is by far the most popular choice among players in the city because it is very safe and has high-end homes.
Real Madrid players from the past and present have chosen homes and flats in the area for their safety. Sportsbreaks.com shows what the area has to offer.
A restaurant called El Acebo De Boadilla has an area called the Iker Casillas Corner. Another award-winning place is Meson Txitsu, which Modric and Bellingham’s new manager Carlo Ancelotti both love.
Former stars Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, and Karim Benzema have all taken in the atmosphere at another local eatery in La Maquina de la Moraleja, with two Michelin-star restaurants BiBo also nearby.
For fashion, the upmarket shopping district Barrio de Salamanca might well be the best option for Bellingham should he want to fit in with the local styles.
The local area also has plush hotels should Bellingham want to show his friends and family the sites, with the iconic Mandarin Oriental Ritz a world-renowned place to stay
The nearby Club de Campo Villa de Madrid provides players a chance to relax over a game of golf – just 15 minutes away from the city centre.
Bellingham might just have some time this summer to do some sightseeing, with the photogenic Plaza Mayor and Puerta de Alcala must-see historic venues.
First up for Bellingham will be to impress his new colleagues in training after pulling out of England duty – as he looks to justify his transfer price as a guaranteed £88.5m fee with the potential for the deal to rise to £113.5m in add-ons.
