What's wrong with Jude Bellingham?! Real Madrid hold secret meetings over England star's drop-off in form in attempt to suss out non-footballing reasons

FIFA Club World Cup

Real Madrid

Al Hilal

<p>Bellingham experienced one of the finest maiden seasons in Real Madrid's history as he ended the 2023-24 campaign with 23 goals and 13 assists in 43 matches across all competitions. The English midfielder played a key role in the club winning La Liga, Champions League and Spanish Super Cup titles.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Things, however, have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/completely-out-control-jude-bellingham-told-crucial-real-madrid-collapse-barcelona/blt62eb8f9a3855ed87" target="_blank">gone downhill for both club and player</a> in the 2024-25 campaign. Los Blancos will end the current season without a trophy, while Bellingham has dropped to a still-creditable 13 goals and 14 assists. According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/05/18/bellingham-real-madrid-debe-rendir-mejor.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>, the Spanish giants are concerned about the England international's dip in form and have conducted several meetings to uncover the reason behind it.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The club are also investigating the player's activities off the pitch and whether anything is affecting his performances on it. The player has also reportedly received a warning with outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti speaking with him to determine the non-footballing factors.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ancelotti will manage the Real Madrid side one last time next Saturday<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-sa/lists/carlo-ancelotti-s-real-madrid-exit-confirmed-taking-brazil-job-xabi-alonso-waits-in-the-wings/blt36afd84492c5c5c0" target="_blank"> before leaving to become Brazil head coach</a> as Los Blancos host Real Sociedad in their final league game of the season.</p>
