Jude Bellingham simply cannot be stopped. Real Madrid won the race for his signature this summer, fighting off competition from Manchester City and Liverpool to land the England international for an initial €103 million.
While it’s hard for anyone with that price tag to be called a ‘bargain’, it would be an apt description of how Bellingham is currently viewed.
With Karim Benzema leaving Real Madrid to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad this summer, there was a gigantic hole in Los Blancos’ attack - one that was only filled by the loan signing of Joselu.

However, Joselu has not been Real’s Benzema replacement - it has arguably been Bellingham.
Carlo Ancelotti has utilised the 20-year-old in a more advanced role than the one he played at Borussia Dortmund and that decision has paid off spectacularly.
Deployed at the tip of a midfield diamond in possession, Bellingham has been given full attacking freedom and he has been the club’s most influential and clinical player.
The England international’s sensational solo strike against Napoli in Matchday Two of the 2023-24 Champions League group stages was his eighth goal in just nine Real Madrid appearances, while he also has three assists for his new club too.
Of those goals, five directly led to a Real Madrid win, with three of his strikes coming past the 80th minute. In fact, his goals against Getafe and Union Berlin were both stoppage-time winners.
Bellingham has been clutch for Real Madrid and he is one of the best players in world football. His transfer value, therefore, naturally reflects that.
What is Jude Bellingham’s transfer value?
FootballTransfers’ in-house Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) algorithm is the most comprehensive football player valuation system in the world and Bellingham’s value is incredibly high.
The Real Madrid star has an ETV of €125.4m - the third-highest value of any player in the world. Only Erling Haaland (€141.2m) and Kylian Mbappe (€136m) have a higher ETV than Bellingham.
