Jude Bellingham was announced as a Real Madrid player a couple of weeks ago, and a lot of planning is underway to make Bellingham as successful as possible.
Real want to maximise his brand image and make sure that he performs to his highest level on the pitch as well. Relevo are reporting that Bellingham is due to land in Spain in the next few days. He has already started taking Spanish lessons and is determined to learn the language as soon as possible. Off the bat, this is a hugely positive sign. Players like Michael Owen, David Beckham and Gareth Bale could all have benefited from learning the language, but never fully committed.
The numbers have already been incredible for Bellingham’s transfer. His welcome announcement had 431,800 likes and 86,000 retweets on Twitter. The video of his presentation on YouTube exceeded 1,200,000 views. Bellingham is the definition of a ‘Galactico’ signing and Los Blancos will be hoping that he can live up to the hype when it matters.
