Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham has won the Golden Boy 2023 award.

The 20-year-old footballer will receive the Golden Boy award on December 4 at a special ceremony in Turin.

In the middle of the 2019/20 season, Borussia Dortmund, as well as English clubs Chelsea and Manchester United, announced their interest in the player. The former Red Devils coach, Alex Ferguson, even gave Bellingham a tour of the club's training base in Carrington. However, on July 20, the footballer joined the Dortmund club for 23 million euros, becoming the most expensive 17-year-old player in football history. Bellingham took the number 22 he had worn at Birmingham.

He made his debut for the Dortmund club on September 14, 2020 in the German Cup match against Duisburg and in the same match opened his account for Borussia, becoming the youngest goalscorer in the club's history at the age of 17 years and 77 days.

On June 14, 2023, Real Madrid officially announced Bellingham's transfer, according to the club's statement, he signed a six-year contract. The transfer fee is estimated at around €133.9 million, including various bonuses.
