Hazard earned 20 million at Real Madrid and did nothing, look what Jude Bellingham earns

Jude Bellingham, the new English striker addition to Real Madrid’s squad during the 2023 summer window market has been called as one of the most important transfers in this season, and Bellingham has already proven his 103 million euros (109 mdlls) worth as he rescued Real Madrid’s first victory in the opening week of the UEFA Champions League.

The English striker was brought from the German club Borussia Dortmund, during his time in the Bundesliga, Jude Bellingham was selected as the best player of the league where he played 132 games and made 24 goals and 25 assists with Borussia.

In his short period in Real Madrid since his arrival in June 2023, Jude Bellingham has demonstrated his great performance in La Liga, as he already has five goals and one assist in the five games he has played with Blanco's team and one goal made in his UEFA Champions League debut against Union Berlin.

But before Jude Bellingham’s arrival to Real Madrid, the previous transfer star was Belgian player Eden Hazard, who came from playing in the Premier League with Chelsea. Madrid's executives made one of the biggest deals of the 2019 summer window market, they paid to the Blue Devils 160 million euros (170.5 mdlls) in exchange for Hazard, 13 million granted for each season.

Hey Jude, thank you

Real Madrid lived an economical nightmare due to Eden Hazard terrible performance in Real Madrid, a nightmare that cost them 13 million euros each season in order to pay the Belgian player, who once scored 110 goals with Chelsea FC, but when played for the Merengues he only was able to score seven and had 12 assists in the 76 games he had.

Jude Bellingham has been the second most expensive contract in Real Madrid’s history, just beneath Eden Hazard. The difference is that Jude has demonstrated that he came to win games and not only charge for his professional fees.

The third most expensive player in Madrid’s history is Gareth Bale with a contract of 101 million euros (107 mdlls) in 2013 and in fourth place is Cristiano Ronaldo himself, when Real Madrid added the Portuguese astro in 2009 for a 94 million euros (100 mdlls) deal, and the rest is history.
