JUDE BELLINGHAM has reportedly parted ways with his live-in chef Alberto Mastromatteo.
The pair linked up at the beginning of the season with Mastromatteo having a reputation for transforming the diet of former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
The chef lived with Bellingham and his mother in Madrid but the pair have allegedly decided to relieve Mastromatteo of his duties, report Spanish outlet Relevo.
Mastromatteo’s company Summumm looks after the physical and mental well-being of various top athletes around the world, including Bellingham’s team-mate Eduardo Camavinga.
He is understood to put his clients on a diet consisting of rice, oats, quinoa, fresh vegetables, fish and some lean meat.
But the chef also believes in maintaining player morale and occasionally offers up chips or tortilla if necessary.
