Jude Bellingham and brother Jobe head on holiday to the South of France together

Jude and Jobe Bellingham were pictured soaking up the sun on holiday together, as the brothers took some time to celebrate their respective transfers.

Older brother Jude, 19, secured a record-breaking £113million move to Real Madrid last week, while Jobe, 17, completed a move to Sunderland on the same day.

It was a huge moment for the family, in particular for parents Mark and Denise, as their teenage sons progressed up the football pyramid.

And now, the brothers seem to be reaping the rewards of their hard work after sharing pictures from a recent trip to the south of France.

On Tuesday morning, former Borussia Dortmund star Bellingham took to social media to post pictures of the trip with caption: 'Recharging with my bro!'

Accompanying the caption was a collection of photos from the trip, with the two brothers appearing in good spirits throughout.

The first picture showcased the duo sitting upon paddleboards, as they kick-started their summer holidays in the south of France.

The rest of the photos showed the brothers enjoying meals, taking boat trips and strolling through the streets.

Older brother Jude put months of speculation to rest after his move to Real Madrid was confirmed last week.

The England international has been one of the most sought after prospects in football, with the likes of Man City and Liverpool also interested in signing him.

However, the Birmingham City academy graduate opted for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu and expressed his joy during his compulsory media duties last week.

On why he had joined the Spanish side over Premier League suitors, he said: 'I think the respect Real Madrid has in England and the pedigree they have in Europe is huge.

'Madrid's history appeals to me and I want to add to their history.

'All the players at the England camp kept asking me to go to the Premier League or join their clubs but I wanted to play outside of my comfort zone. This is where I wanted to be.'

Bellingham will wear the iconic number five shirt at Real, which previously belonged to club legend Zinedine Zidane.

Meanwhile, younger brother Jobe completed a move to Sunderland from Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee on the same day.

The precocious 17-year-old midfielder was a regular in John Eustace's squad this season, making 22 appearances in the Championship.

He leaves the Blues at the same age as his brother, Jude Bellingham, did three years ago when he moved to Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham said: 'I'm delighted to sign for Sunderland AFC and I can't wait to get started. The opportunity for young players to move here and progress is clear, so I believe this is the perfect Club for me to continue my development.'
