Real Madrid: upcoming discussions with Jude Bellingham

Real Madrid is preparing to open contract extension talks with English midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to a report from Marca. The Spanish club reportedly intends to secure an agreement on a new deal before the end of the year, following negotiations over Vinicius Jr's contract extension.

Bellingham, who joined the club in 2023, is currently under contract until 2029. Real Madrid decision-makers reportedly aim to extend his stay until 2030 or 2031, with expectations that negotiations will proceed more smoothly than previous high-profile renewals.
