Despite interest from several Premier League clubs this summer, Bellingham appears settled in Madrid and has established himself as a key player under coach Jose Mourinho. Transfer reporter Nicolo Schira mentioned on X that Bellingham is one step away from extending his contract with Real Madrid until 2032.
The new contract is expected to include a significant salary increase, placing him alongside the club's highest earners, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. Bellingham, who excelled at the 2026 World Cup, has had a strong start to the La Liga season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in six matches. He is currently ranked as the third-most valuable player in football, trailing only Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
In other Real Madrid news, while Bellingham is set to secure his future, uncertainty looms over the futures of several players, including Brazilian striker Endrick. The young forward has had limited playing time this season, appearing for just four minutes after recovering from injury. Initially expected to play a significant role, Endrick's position has been impacted by the arrival of summer signing Carlos Espi.
Endrick and his representatives are considering a potential exit, with plans for a meeting ahead of the January transfer window to discuss his future. Several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, are monitoring the situation and may make transfer offers if Real Madrid is open to his departure.
