JUDE BELLINGHAM could become one of Real Madrid’s highest earners if he moves to the Bernabeu.
Reports yesterday strongly claimed that the English teenager will be heading to Spain from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
He has been being chased by some of the world’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United and Manchester City.
If he does make the switch to Madrid, Bellingham could be offered eye-watering wages that will leave him as the seventh-highest paid player at the club.
Marca report that the star will pocket £12million-a-year if the move is completed.
This means the 19-year-old will make £1m-a-month, and £250,000-a-week.

This marks a huge pay bump from the reported £1.1m-a-year he currently makes at Dortmund.
It would also mean he would make more than first team stars like Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, according to wages reported by AS.
Eden Hazard is incredibly Los Blancos’ highest earner on £400,000-a-week, despite the star struggling to make any impact in his four years at the club.
Injuries and fitness issues has left the star limited to just five league appearances this season, and without a La Liga goal since the 2020-21 season.

Senior players David Alaba and Toni Kroos follow next on the highest wage list, while important stars like Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois come next.
Bellingham is set to be the best paid player after these six in a signal of how highly rated he is by the club.
An “agreement in principle” is believed to be in place after Madrid spent a year planning the transfer.
Bellingham could sign a contract until 2029, but Real Madrid and Dortmund have yet to strike a deal on a transfer fee.
