Jude Bellingham relaxed with friends on the beach in Mykonos, Greece on Thursday.
The England international, 19, showed off his ripped abs as he wandered barefoot across the sand, wearing just white boardshorts.
Jude looked happier than ever as he flashed a wide smile while chatting with his pals as they soaked up the sunshine.
The footballer ensured the group enjoyed a care-free time at the beach, with their own padded sunloungers and parasols, as well as table service.
Jude – who is in a relationship with glamorous influencer Asantewa Chitty, 21 – certainly had reason to be in good spirits, after Real Madrid agreed a £113m deal to sign him on a six-year contract.

Asantewa was reported to have begun dating Bellingham in April 2022, with sources telling The Sun: ‘She is also very keen on him. She is excited to see where this goes.’
On Thursday, MailOnline revealed that Real Madrid had agreed a deal worth an initial £88.5million to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and he is expected to complete the move inside 10 days.
It is understood the deal will guarantee Dortmund £88.5m – but will rise towards £113.5m as a result of £25m worth of performance-related add-ons – which are believed to be achievable.
Personal terms need to be formally agreed – but that will be a formality. He still has to undergo a medical, bearing in mind his knee troubles in recent weeks, but if he passes that Madrid will be in a position to confirm the teenager’s arrival.
Bellingham is set to miss England’s forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia due to a long-running knee injury, amid concerns he needs surgery.
It is understood no final decision has been made on the prospect of Bellingham going under the knife – but the plan is for him to rest over the summer and miss the international fixtures.

At the end of last month, Bellingham’s team Borussia Dortmund simply needed to beat Mainz at home on the final day of the campaign to win the club’s first Bundesliga title since 2012.
Yet in the end they were held to a 2-2 draw after falling two goals behind early on.
Bayern Munich’s last-gasp 2-1 victory away at Cologne, secured by Jamal Musiala in the 89th minute, meant they leapfrogged their bitter rivals on the last day to retain their crown for a 10th time.
Due to his ongoing problems with his right knee, Bellingham was unable to help Dortmund against Mainz and watched his team-mates surrender the title from the bench.
His exit this summer may feel bittersweet given the circumstances, however he made sure to show his appreciation for his team-mates and Dortmund staff before his departure.
The 19-year-old and his mother Denise gave out a series of gifts after a team meeting on Sunday as he prepares to bid farewell to Dortmund, including a signed pair of football boots he handed to a security guard at the club.
He even signed the boots and wrote the parting message: ‘Thank you!’
On one of his final visits to the club’s training ground, Bellingham also spent plenty of time signing autographs for fans before departing at around 1:15pm CEST.
