Real Madrid's English midfielder Jude Bellingham scored his team's first goal during a match against Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid on August 30, 2026.
Bellingham has had good talks with Real Madrid about a new contract. This deal could keep him at the club until 2031.
According to BBC Sport on Friday, Bellingham, who is 23 years old, has just over two and a half years left on his current contract. Spanish media reports say a new deal would secure his future at Santiago Bernabeu.
The former Borussia Dortmund player joined Real Madrid in 2023 for €103m (£88.5m). He has scored 49 goals in 152 matches for the club.
Bellingham made a strong start in his first season, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in 28 La Liga matches. Real Madrid won the league title and the UEFA Champions League that year.
His scoring dropped in the next seasons. He had nine goals and eight assists in the 2024-25 season. In the 2025-26 season, he scored six goals and had four assists. This season was tough for him due to injuries.
Still, his performances have shown how important he is to the team. His creativity, hard work, and ability to play in different roles make him a key player in Real Madrid’s midfield.
Bellingham has also started the 2026-27 season well, scoring three goals and providing three assists in nine games under manager Jose Mourinho.
His impact goes beyond just scoring goals. His ability to shine in important moments has made him a fan favorite at the Bernabeu.
A new contract would show how valuable he is to the squad. It would also demonstrate Real Madrid’s desire to keep one of Europe’s top midfielders for a long time.
At 23, Bellingham still has many good years ahead. A new deal would be a big investment in the club’s future plans in both domestic and European competitions.
Bellingham’s success has also boosted his reputation with the England national team. He reportedly scored seven goals during the summer World Cup, where England finished third, and was named the national team’s men’s player of the year.
While no deal has been confirmed yet, the positive talks suggest both sides are willing to work together. A new agreement could keep Bellingham at Real Madrid until 2031.
