Real Madrid president issues stunning verdict as English star faces internal scrutiny
Santiago Bernabéu shockwaves: Florentino Pérez is reportedly disillusioned with Jude Bellingham, expressing behind closed doors that the 21-year-old’s performances and attitude have fallen below expectations, according to Media News 48.
> “Watching him has been a disappointment,” Pérez allegedly told close aides — igniting speculation of a fractured relationship between Madrid’s hierarchy and the young Englishman.
Criticism centers on tactical indiscipline, a lack of leadership under pressure, and recent moments of emotional volatility — including his controversial red card and outburst at officials. Once hailed as Madrid’s midfield messiah, Bellingham now stands at a career crossroads.
Madrid fans are split — some rally to defend his early-season brilliance, while others wonder if the Bernabéu spotlight has dimmed too soon.
Will Jude rise anew under Xabi Alonso’s rule… or be cast aside in Pérez’s ruthless pursuit of dominance?
