The German club considers that many of the agreed bonuses are very easy to achieve and expects to obtain another 25 million euros more
There are prizes for winning the League and the Champions League, for qualifying to play the highest continental competition and for the games played and the prizes that the Englishman gets
Real Madrid has so far invested 103 million in the signing of Jude Bellingham, although the bonuses agreed with Borussia Dortmund will significantly increase that amount in the next six years. In fact, aware that many of the agreed prizes are very easy to obtain, the German club expects to enter another 25 million more, according to the German newspaper ‘Bild’. That is to say, the final amount of the operation will be around 128 million euros.
The agreement between the two clubs established that the 103 million euros agreed could be increased by up to 30% in various bonuses. If all the clauses provided during the next six seasons are fulfilled, Real Madrid should pay 133.9 million. But the leaders of Borussia Dortmund take it for granted that the final figure will be very close.
Florentino Pérez, the Madrid president, wanted to impose a 20% cap on bonuses, although the determination of Hans-Joachim Watzke and Sebastian Kehl, general director and sports director of the Rhenish club, respectively, made it that the prizes will be set at a maximum of 30%.
SIX SEASONS
The final amount of the operation will depend, among other agreed bonuses, on League and Champions League titles for Real Madrid to achieve over the next six seasons.
At the same time, the Madrid club will have to pay an extra each time it manages to qualify to play the maximum continental competition, while there are also plans a series of awards based on the matches played by the English international and also the individual prizes you get. For example, Dortmund will be paid if Bellingham is selected to make FIFA’s Best XI of the Season.
