Bellingham previously put off the surgery last summer in order to play for England at Euro 2024.
However, Onda Cero now report that he has finally had the operation.
It comes after he confirmed his plans during the Club World Cup in the USA.
Bellingham told reporters: “I’ve gotten to the point where the pain isn’t so bad. I was tired of playing with the sling.
“I’m losing a lot of weight from sweating so much, and I’ll have surgery after the tournament.
“I’ve been waiting a while, and my patience is running out, but the physios and doctors have been incredible, and I want to feel free.”
It is believed the 22-year-old will be out for between three and four months as a result.
Bellingham is not expected to return to action until at least October in a blow to the Spanish giants.
The lengthy lay-off will see him miss Los Blancos’ opening eight LaLiga fixtures.

Their opening eight fixtures through to October 5 also include a trip to city rivals Atletico Madrid in September.
Bellingham will likely be absent for their first two league phase matches in the Champions League as well as the UEFA Super Cup.
Meanwhile, Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel has been handed a selection headache.
The recovery period means Bellingham might not be fit to face Andorra and Serbia in World Cup qualifying in September.
He also remains a doubt for England’s trip to Latvia the following month.
Prior to the surgery, Bellingham was part of Real Madrid’s squad for the Club World Cup.
The former Borussia Dortmund man featured in all six of his current club’s matches as they reached the semi-finals.
Those appearances included a reunion with his old side in the last eight and a goal against Pachuca in the group stage.
His involvement in the tournament took his tally of club matches during the 2024/25 campaign to 58 across all competitions.
Bellingham was unable to add another trophy to his growing collection in the Spanish capital, though.
Real Madrid were thrashed 4-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the last four before the French side’s final defeat to Chelsea.
