On Jude Bellingham's shoulders - a great burden.
At Real Madrid, a 19-year-old will wear the jersey with the number 5. Once this number belonged to the one and only Zinedine Zidane.
During a special press conference, Bellingham talked about the desires of his national team friends, the final that determined his decision, and a potential Mbappe transfer.
Memorable quotes:
"This was not a transfer about money. I simply decided to join the biggest club in the world, which, of course, was Real Madrid.
All my teammates in the England national team wanted me to return to the Premier League, which would have been an easier path, returning to a comfort zone, but it is impossible to reject the offer from the biggest and best club Real Madrid.
I was sold when Real Madrid visited me at my home. It was a big step, as they treated my family perfectly, not trying to manipulate us.
My dad mentioned the Real Madrid option about 12 or 15 months ago, and immediately I got goosebumps, my heart sank. I was at the victorious Real Madrid final against Liverpool, and that was one of the reasons to join this team.
I saw rumors about Mbappe only on Twitter. Would I like to play with him? Who wouldn't?" - said Jude Bellingham
