Jude Bellingham: Career, Achievements, Net Worth in 2024, and Personal Life

Jude Victor Bellingham, England and Real Madrid's star midfielder needs no introduction is a name that has been echoing in the world of soccer for over a year now. At just 21 years of age, the records and accolades he has accomplished are nothing but remarkable. Here we are taking a deeper look into Jude Bellingham's career, net worth, endorsements, personal life, and much more.

At 10, Jude Bellingham joined Birmingham City FC in their Under-8 squad. By the time he was 14, he had already started making an impact in the Blues' Under 18 team. In the 2019-20 season, Bellingham had his debut in the main team at age 16, setting a record as their youngest-ever player. The match was against Portsmouth in the EFL Cup. He scored 44 goals for Birmingham that season!

Quite unsurprisingly, by early 2020, Europe's greatest clubs including Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were showing interest in him. Birmingham FC knew he had to take one of those offers, and showing their respect, they retired his no:22 jersey.

In the 2020 summer transfer window, Jude Bellingham signed with Borussia Dortmund, where also his fellow Englishman Jadon Sancho plays. With a reported transfer fee of a whopping $32 million, he became the most expensive 17-year-old footballer ever. The rest was history.

Bellingham's debut on the German side was against MSV Duisburg in a DFB-Pokal match, where he also scored a brace, and obviously thrashed more records! That season he scored 4 goals in 46 appearances but earned a lot of acclaim and reputation.

In the next years, 19-year-old Jude had even more dazzling campaigns. He became the youngest captain in the Bundesliga in a match against FC Koln. Although they fell short of winning the title in the 2022-23 season, Bellingham's contributions were deemed immense as he also won Bundesliga Player of the Season.

The 2023 transfer window saw Real Madrid and Liverpool approach the talented youngster with massive offers, and Bellingham chose the 14-time European champions. He signed a six-year deal on June 14th for around $113 million with some add-ons and bonuses.

The 2023-24 season was absolutely magnificent for the young Galactico. Scoring 23 goals (same as Vinicius Jr) with 11 assists, Bellingham's contributions helped Los Blancos achieve La Liga and their 15th Champions League. With Madrid's already talent-packed squad even stronger with the addition of Kylian Mbappe, there is no doubt that Jude Bellingham is stepping into more glorious years.

International Career

Jude Bellingham certainly holds a lot of 'Youngest Ever' records! He started with the Under-16 squad and made his way over the years. In September 2020, he was the youngest player to appear for England's Under-21 team. Within 2 months, he had his senior team debut in a friendly against Ireland. Well, this time, he did not break the Youngest Ever record. He was the third-youngest, behind Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney.

The 2020 Euro saw Jude Bellingham boot up for Three Lions for the first time in an international tournament. In the Qatar World Cup 2022, Bellingham was the one who scored England's opening goal against Iran.

Then in the Euro 2024 squad, Bellingham was selected and impressed with a winning goal vs Serbia and a breathtaking Bicycle Kick in the pre-quarter that restored England's title hopes.
