Real Madrid Increases Bellingham’s Salary to Match Mbappe
Jude Bellingham, the English midfielder, has received a significant salary increase from Real Madrid to match the earnings of Kylian Mbappe.
The move aims to prevent any potential tensions among the club’s star trio and ensure a harmonious atmosphere within the team. Bellingham’s new salary of €15 million per year aligns with Mbappe’s earnings, while Vinicius Jr. has also received a raise to maintain parity.
Bellingham joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last year and quickly established himself as a key player. His impressive debut season, highlighted by his 23 goals and 13 assists, earned him recognition as a leading contender for the Ballon d’Or.
While Bellingham’s role has evolved slightly this season with the arrival of Mbappe and the retirement of Toni Kroos, he remains an integral part of Real Madrid’s midfield. His recent calf injury has limited his playing time, but he is expected to return to full fitness soon.
