Jude Bellingham ready for new role at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso

Jude Bellingham — Real Madrid midfielder who joined in summer 2023 for 113 million euros from Borussia Dortmund — will undergo a new role transformation under coach Xabi Alonso.

After three years at Dortmund as a central midfielder, the English player experienced a position change — Carlo Ancelotti entrusted him with an attacking midfielder role at Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham’s performance in the number 10 position has proven impressive — he has scored 37 goals and provided 27 assists from 94 appearances with Los Blancos.

The 2025 Club World Cup will mark a new chapter for Bellingham — coach Xabi Alonso plans to give him different responsibilities to optimize his abilities in Real Madrid’s midfield.
