Jude Bellingham’s representatives have informed Real Madrid that the midfielder deserves a wage increase, according to reports from Diario AS.
Bellingham, who currently earns €15m (£12.6m) per season, is reportedly one of the club’s highest earners, alongside Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius.
However, before Mbappe’s arrival, Bellingham and Vinicius were the top earners at the club, with each player taking home €10m (£8.4m) per season.
Bellingham’s agents believe that his value to the team warrants a salary hike, and have made their case to the club.
It remains to be seen how Real Madrid will respond to the request, but the move highlights Bellingham’s growing importance to the team and his increasing market value.
