Real Madrid planning contract renewal for midfield superstar

Real Madrid planning contract renewal for midfield superstar Big money signings are almost an annual ritual at Real Madrid who have always maintained a positive financial balance and utilised their margins to plan blockbuster signings. Not all, however, pay off. There have been numerous examples of players who have struggled to live up to their billing after arriving at the Spanish capital, particularly owing to the overwhelming pressure to perform. One player who has embraced that responsibility and stepped up on the biggest of nights time and time again is Jude Bellingham, and the English midfielder has grown into one of the first names on the team sheet at the club. Here to stay As reported by Ramon Alvarez de Mon , Real Madrid are seriously considering Bellingham’s contractual situation as a matter of importance and plans on handing the player a well-deserved contract extension.

While there is still significant time left before the player enters the final year of his contract, Los Blancos wish to complete the renewal process well in advance so as to avoid a saga similar to what they faced with Vinicius Jr. this summer. A blistering start to the season In four official games this season, Real Madrid have racked up three wins and one defeat, and Bellingham has been one of the standout performers.

He already has two goals and two assists to his name and has led from the front alongside Kylian Mbappe. With Jose Mourinho at the helm now, the Englishman is being handed more attacking freedom as the manager wishes to play to Bellingham’s strengths and maximise his output. Now having fewer defensive responsibilities, the player’s numbers are expected to boom as the season progresses. He is, in that sense, one of the greatest beneficiaries of Mourinho’s arrival and a lot more responsibility will be placed on his shoulders.
