Spanish giants Real Madrid are ready to unveil no fewer than three new players as additions to the club’s first-team squad next week, according to reports.
First up, of course, comes the latest marquee arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu, in the form of Jude Bellingham.
On the back of months of rampant speculation, Englishman Bellingham’s move to Spain’s capital was finally confirmed by Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, with the midfielder set to link up with Los Blancos for an initial fee of €103 million.

Next up comes Fran Garcia, set for an imminent return to base in Madrid.
After starring en route to Player of the Year honours in two of his three seasons with Rayo Vallecano, Florentino Perez and the Real board have come to the decision to activate their buyback clause on Garcia, who will provide much-needed cover at left-back in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

And last but not least is Brahim Diaz.
A solid-if-unspectacular haul of seven goals and seven assists across all competitions this past term, though, has proven enough to convince Los Blancos’ board of the Spaniard’s readiness to contribute.
A new long-term contract, in turn, is being readied for Diaz, who will be presented to Real’s fanbase alongside Bellingham and Garcia at some point next week.
