Jude Bellingham has agreed to extend his Real Madrid contract until June 2031, according to José Félix Díaz of AS.

The report says the agreement includes a pay rise, with discussions having started late last season. An official announcement from the club is still awaited.

Bellingham’s existing contract runs through 2029, following the six-year deal he signed when he joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. Now 23, he has completed three seasons in Madrid, having previously established himself at Birmingham City and Dortmund.

His first year in Spain brought the Champions League, La Liga and Spanish Super Cup. UEFA also named him the Champions League’s Young Player of the Season, recognizing his contribution to a campaign that ended with victory over his former club at Wembley. He finished that European campaign with four goals and five assists in 11 appearances.

By his birthday in June, Bellingham had scored 46 goals in 140 appearances for Madrid. His debut had offered an early indication of what was to come: he scored against Athletic Club at San Mames in August 2023 and was named the game’s best player.

A shoulder problem later complicated his progress. He underwent surgery in July 2025 after playing with discomfort that dated back to a dislocation in November 2023. The operation forced him to miss the start of the following league season.

Jose Mourinho’s arrival has brought a role that Bellingham says suits him. After the 4-0 win over Malaga in August, he explained that he was enjoying greater freedom to move forward or drop into midfield, depending on what the game required.

Mourinho praised the standards Bellingham sets for himself and those around him, while stressing his desire to play the midfielder alongside Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. Bellingham scored the opener against Malaga, taking his early-season return to two goals and two assists from the first three La Liga matches.
