Jude Bellingham, the star player for Real Madrid, has allegedly been reported to LaLiga officials for referring to Mason Greenwood as a ‘rapist,’ as reported by Spanish outlet Cadena SER via Metro. The incident reportedly occurred during Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe, with Joselu scoring both goals in the league clash on Thursday (February 1). This match marked the first encounter between Bellingham and Greenwood in the Spanish top flight since Greenwood’s loan move to Getafe last summer.
According to the mentioned report, Bellingham could potentially face suspension if found guilty, though uncertainty lingers as audio evidence has not captured the alleged slur. On the football field, Bellingham has been in stellar form following his reported €103 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer, contributing 18 goals and eight assists in 27 matches across various competitions.
Greenwood, who faced charges of rape and assault dropped against him in February 2023, has performed well since joining Getafe in Spain, registering six goals and four assists in 21 matches across competitions. Manchester United reportedly opted against reintegrating him after the legal proceedings, and the current report suggests the club is open to selling the 22-year-old attacker once his loan concludes in the summer, aiming to generate funds. The seriousness of the situation involving the reported insult to Greenwood may result in consequences for Bellingham, pending the outcome of investigations by LaLiga officials.
