Looking happier than ever, he shared wide smiles and laughter with his pals as they soaked up the sun. Bellingham ensured their beach outing was carefree, complete with padded sun loungers, parasols, and table service.
Bellingham, who is in a relationship with glamorous influencer Asantewa Chitty, 21, had plenty of reasons to celebrate after Real Madrid agreed to a £113 million deal to sign him on a six-year contract. Reports indicate that Asantewa has been dating Bellingham since April 2022, and sources have noted her excitement about their future together.
On Thursday, MailOnline revealed that Real Madrid finalized an initial deal worth £88.5 million for Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, expected to be completed within 10 days. The agreement will guarantee Dortmund £88.5 million, with potential performance-related add-ons bringing the total to £113.5 million.

While personal terms are expected to be a formality, Bellingham still needs to undergo a medical examination due to recent knee issues. If he passes, Madrid will be poised to confirm his transfer.
Unfortunately, Bellingham is set to miss England’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia due to his ongoing knee injury, with concerns over the need for surgery. A final decision on surgery has yet to be made, but he plans to rest over the summer.
At the end of last month, Dortmund needed to beat Mainz to secure their first Bundesliga title since 2012 but were held to a 2-2 draw, allowing Bayern Munich to retain their title. Bellingham was unable to play due to his knee issues and watched from the bench as his team fell short.
As he prepares to leave Dortmund, Bellingham expressed gratitude to his teammates and staff. He and his mother, Denise, distributed gifts after a team meeting, including a signed pair of football boots that he gave to a security guard, inscribed with a heartfelt message: “Thank you!”
During one of his final visits to the training ground, he took the time to sign autographs for fans before departing around 1:15 PM CEST.
