Kylian Mbappé is set to arrive at Real Madrid as a star, but Jude Bellingham is reportedly already concerned.
With Mbappé’s imminent arrival, Vinicius and Rodrygo may face challenges on the field, while Jude Bellingham’s prestige raises worries off the pitch.
According to journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, the Real Madrid president has preemptively addressed potential ego issues. He plans to offer Jude Bellingham a salary increase to mitigate any comparisons with Mbappé’s signing, a strategy that may extend to other players.
Bellingham’s raise is already in discussion, as reported by Defensa Central. The urgency stems from the significant salary gap between Mbappé and Bellingham. While Mbappé is set to earn between 30 and 35 million euros annually, along with a signing bonus of 100 to 130 million euros, Bellingham currently earns around 20 million euros per season.
This disparity presents a challenge for Real Madrid, and similar measures may be necessary for Vinicius and other players.
