“Los Blancos anticipate concluding their acquisition of the 19-year-old English midfielder this week, after the conclusion of the Bundesliga season. Real will pay the German club between £1.75 million and £3.05 million extra per season over the course of the six-year contract.
“Those sums will vary depending on how well the Spanish team performs in the league and cup competitions each season,
as well as how many games Bellingham plays in and how many goals he scores.
According to Spanish sources, he will begin his career in Madrid earning a weekly salary that is significantly less than that of their highest-paid players but that rises in 2025 and 2026 will put him right in the middle of them. ”.
