Since Kylian Mbappe moved to the Santiago Bernabeu, Jude Bellingham, a hero for Real Madrid, has gotten a huge pay rise.
Mbappe, 25, joined Real as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. He quickly became the club’s highest earner, making an incredible €15 million (£12.6 million) a year.
The star forward made more than Bellingham, 21, and Vinicius Junior, who were tied for the most money on the pay list with €10m (£8.4m) a season.
The €5m (£4.2m) difference, on the other hand, was said to have caused problems in the dressing room between the three stars, according to OK Diario.
Because of this, Florentino Perez, the president of Real, chose to match all three of their salaries by giving Bellingham and Vinicius big raises.
All of them now have €15m, which is the most money anyone has ever made in Madrid.
This is also how much Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and Eden Hazard got paid while they played for Real Madrid.
Bellingham made a big splash in his first season with Real Madrid last year.
The star player scored 23 goals and set up 13 others in 42 games, which is a very good total.
The England player didn’t have the best start to the season because he hurt a muscle in August.
Because of this, Bellingham missed Lee Carsley’s first Nations League games in charge of the Three Lions as interim boss.
But the great player who used to play for Borussia Dortmund came back to action on Tuesday in the Champions League and helped Real beat Stuttgart 3-1 in Spain.
Mbappe has scored five goals in seven games for Carlo Ancelotti’s team in all categories.
