Jude Bellingham and his team-mates struck a pose as Real Madrid unveiled their new home kit for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign.
The Spanish giants have been the talk of the transfer window after finally bringing an end to one of football's longest sagas and confirming the signing of Kylian Mbappe on Monday evening.
The news comes after the 2018 World Cup winner decided not to trigger a one-year extension with Paris Saint-Germain and instead fulfil a boyhood dream by playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Now, ahead of his debut campaign in Spain, Madrid have released their redesigned home strip that Mbappe will wear once he gets to work at the club.
The likes of Bellingham, Eder Militao, David Alaba and Linda Caicedo all posed for pictures in the new kit - which features a bold houndstooth pattern.

Interestingly, the shirt also offers a seasonal V-neck collar and minimal black detailing woven through the adidas logo on the shirt.
On the club website, the authentic version of the new shirt will cost fans £148, while the non-authentic version is available for £97.
Though it has not been officially confirmed by the club, it is expected that Mbappe will take the No 9 shirt when he joins Madrid later this summer.
It's claimed that Mbappe and his camp didn't ask Real Madrid to get the No 10 shirt, due to his respect for Luka Modric.
Modric has been the No 10 at Real Madrid since the 2017-18 season, after it had previously been worn by James Rodriguez and Mesut Ozil during his first five seasons at the club. Until 2017, he had been wearing the No 19 shirt.
The Croatian midfielder, now 38, was set to be out of contract this summer, before he signed a new one-year contract on a lower salary.
Modric has accepted more of a secondary role at the club this season, but has opted to remain at the club, unlike Toni Kroos who will retire after this summer's European Championship.
However, by wearing the No 9 he would follow in the footsteps of some iconic players to have graced the Santiago Bernabeu.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to take up the No. 9 shirt for the Spanish side in his debut campaign
The most recent player to wear the shirt, is his former French international team-mate Karim Benzema - who represented the number for 13 years between 2010 and 2013.
Before that, Cristiano Ronaldo wore the shirt during his first season at the club.
The Portuguese star, now at Al-Nassr, found himself in a similar situation to Mbappe now, as he didn't take his preferred No 7 shirt due to his respect for Real Madrid legend Raul.
The Spanish striker left in 2010, opening up the opportunity for Ronaldo to then take the No 7.
