Real Madrid is reportedly considering quitting La Liga after Jude Bellingham controversial red card against Osasuna for alleged foul language toward the referee. The club believes officiating bias is harming them. A move to Serie A, Ligue 1, or Bundesliga would require FIFA and UEFA approval. Bellingham could face a 4-12 match ban, affecting Madrid title race.

In the wake of Jude Bellingham’s controversial red card against Osasuna, Real Madrid is reportedly considering leaving La Liga due to concerns over biased refereeing. The English midfielder was sent off for allegedly using abusive language toward the referee, though he later clarified it was a miscommunication.

Real Madrid believes they have been unfairly treated, with this incident adding to their frustrations over officiating standards. According to *Sport*, the club has even explored moving to Serie A, Ligue 1, or Bundesliga, though such a shift would require FIFA and UEFA approvals, making it highly complex.

Madrid has also lodged a complaint with the Royal Spanish Football Federation following their 1-0 loss to Espanyol, where they argued a key defender should have been sent off for a foul on Kylian Mbappe.

Under Spain’s disciplinary code, players guilty of abusing referees face suspensions of 4 to 12 matches. If Bellingham’s ban reaches four games, he will miss crucial La Liga fixtures against Girona, Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano, and the Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Sociedad. With Madrid locked in a tight title race with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, losing their star player could significantly impact their season.
