Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold will reportedly earn a massive bonus if Real Madrid win the FIFA Club World Cup this month.
Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has announced the prize money to show how committed the team are to winning the competition.
Real Madrid, still unbeaten in the competition, claimed a slender 1-0 win over Juventus in the Round of 16. They will face Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals on Saturday, July 5. It could have been a dream clash between the Bellingham brothers, but Jobe will not play for Dortmund in the quarter-finals.
Real Madrid President Announces Massive Bonus for Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, & Co.
Real Madrid were below their best in Carlo Ancelotti’s last season at the club. They lost the LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de Espana to Barcelona. They crashed out of the Champions League after suffering a 5-1 aggregate defeat to Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
Real Madrid have a chance to redeem themselves by winning the new and expanded FIFA Club World Cup. And the club chiefs are doing all they can to motivate them.
According to Spanish outlet Diario AS, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has promised that each member of the winning team will receive a bonus of €1 million (£860 million). This is the highest bonus Los Blancos have offered for a tournament this short.

Perez has reportedly made it clear to everyone that the Club World Cup is not a pre-season tournament. They are determined to become the first winners of the competition. For Real Madrid, the competition is reportedly almost as important as the UEFA Champions League.
The Madrid squad had already received a boost when Xabi Alonso took charge. The allure of hefty prize money has motivated the players even more.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham Have Been Key For Los Blancos at Club World Cup
Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been crucial for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup, despite not being at the top of their game.
In Xabi Alonso’s new-look system, Bellingham has had to sacrifice a lot more. He has not attacked the box as frequently as he has been busy managing his defensive responsibilities. However, despite the hurdles, he has come up with a goal and an assist for Madrid at the Club World Cup. Bellingham has also won 16 duels, made 18 recoveries, and blocked two shots.

His compatriot, Alexander-Arnold, got a lot of flak for his defensive mishaps against Al Hilal. But did not let it get to his head. Growing with each game, the Englishman provided a match-winning assist in the Round of 16 clash against Juventus. With Dani Carvajal still recovering, Alexander-Arnold has undoubtedly been a crucial addition to Madrid’s right flank.
