An expert has claimed Jude Bellingham’s relationship could earn Real Madrid millions.
At just 20, the England and Real Madrid star is among the most high-profile footballers in world football.
And the Galactico’s success could allegedly see him “surpass Kylian Mbappe in marketability potential”, according to football finance expert Dr Rob Wilson.
Wilson told Saxo: “Bellingham has the potential to exceed Ronaldo and Messi in terms of marketability. If we had this conversation in ten years’ time and Bellingham continues his trajectory with Real Madrid, then I think he will surpass Mbappe considerably.
“They are at the beginning of that journey; Mbappe would be more established than Bellingham as he has been around for a little bit longer, but the potential for both players would be significantly more than the transfer fee that you would need to sign either of them.
“Mbappe is worth more now than Bellingham, but the England midfielder has a degree more marketability about him and he is in the earlier part of his career as well.”
“There will also be a natural increase in the level of exposure to brands like PrettyLittleThing as a result of the indirect association.
“The really smart commercial people will be looking at that and thinking, PrettyLittleThing is a really well thought of brand, as are Real Madrid, there might be a chance of some co-activation. It could be worth millions for Bellingham and Real Madrid.”
