The transfer fee consists of a high fixed sum and performance-related payments over a period of six years, Dortmund confirmed.
"We would like to thank Jude for his three years of passion for Borussia Dortmund. It was a fantastic time together," said Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, adding:
"Our thanks also go to Real Madrid for the always fair and constructive discussions."
"Jude has had a very positive development with us at a young age," added sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
"He has now decided to make the move to Real Madrid. We thank him for everything he has given us and our game and wish Jude all the best for the future.
Bellingham, 19, who joined Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, commented:
"Thank you to everyone at BVB and the fans for everything over the past three years. It has been an honor to wear your jersey so many times, in big and small moments. Even though I'm looking forward to my next destination, I'll never forget the way there. Once a Borussian, always a Borussian. All the best for the future. Heja BVB!"
