Despite his 23 goals and 12 assists in an advanced role in his debut season for Los Blancos, it appears the 20-year-old will be moved into a deeper position in the 2024/25 campaign.
The England international has surprised many with his performances this term since joining the 14-time UEFA Champions League winners, having been massively influential in the team's LALIGA triumph.
According to Marca, however, the expected arrival of Kylian Mbappe will see Bellingham revert to a more familiar role, with Ancelotti believing the No. 5 is more than capable of taking on more defensive responsibilities.
Bellingham enjoyed a traditional central midfielder's role during his time at Birmingham and at Borussia Dortmund, but grew into an attacking midfielder following his fast start in Spain.
The Three Lions star scored five goals in his first four league matches of the season, and also found the back of the net in each of his first four appearances in the Champions League for Real.
