Real Madrid player holidays: Vinicius Jr’s theme park, Bellingham’s incognito trip, Huijsen’s training sessions

Real Madrid players utilized their nearly month-long break between their Club World Cup semi-final exit on July 9 and their expected return to training on August 4 for various holidays. Many chose to stay within Spain, including new signing Alvaro Carreras, who celebrated his €50 million move from Benfica with family and friends in Ferrol. Dani Ceballos spent time with family in Seville, while Brahim Diaz was in Malaga running his children's football camp.

Popular destinations like Ibiza and Marbella also featured prominently. Jude Bellingham visited Ibiza before the Club World Cup and later spent time in London, attempting to remain incognito; he also attended a friendly match at Barnet's stadium. Thibaut Courtois and Dean Huijsen enjoyed Ibiza's famous clubs like Ushuaia, while young striker Gonzalo Garcia opted for the quieter island of Formentera.

Huijsen also spent part of his break in his hometown of Marbella. There, he relaxed with new teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold – whom he met before the tournament – and former Juventus teammate Kenan Yildiz, engaging in activities like boating and jet skiing.
