By Kian Long
Real Madrid have handed their two star players from last season, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, a well deserved wage increase.
Kylian Mbappe has arrived in the Spanish capital with a bang. Not only is he their highest-profile signing for some time, he has already hit the ground running with his goal-scoring ability.
It turns out that Kylian Mbappe being given a bumper salary at Real Madrid not only benefits the Frenchman, but his Real Madrid teammates too.
Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr given a Real Madrid wage increase
According to a report from OK DIARIO, Real Madrid have offered Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior a wage increase. It is to better match the bumper salary given to Kylian Mbappe, to avoid any friction within the squad.
Last season, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior were the two star players for Real Madrid. Key performances, most notably in the UEFA Champions League final, saw them right at the top of Carlo Ancelotti's hierarchy.
Therefore, such is the nature of the sport at this level, fans were concerned about Real Madrid's morale when Kylian Mbappe arrived at the club. It is particularly the case when his huse salary is factored into play, since money is very much a contributing factor to player wellbeing.
Since Real Madrid are in a great financial position currently, it makes sense that they are spending their resources well. After all, they will function better as a club if every player has a reason to fight for the badge.
It would be unfair to even insinuate that Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior are money-hungry. In fact, the opposite is true. Despite their ego driving them to the top of the world, they are much more focused on playing football rather than topping up their wallets.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid is a rewarding club, in more ways than one. Therefore, Real Madrid more than understandably want to solidify their content at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
