Real Madrid have reached an agreement with both Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde over new contracts.
The 14-time Champions League winners are also close to announcing a new deal for star winger Vinicius Junior and it’s likely that his extension will be confirmed before Madrid’s home game with Sevilla on 21 October.
Led by the evergreen Carlo Ancelotti, Madrid have enjoyed a fine start to the post-Karim Benzema era, winning eight of their nine La Liga games thanks to the genius of summer signing Jude Bellingham.
They have also picked up wins in their first two Champions League group games, with the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder again the star attraction against Union Berlin and Napoli.
But the 20-year-old, who already has ten goals to his name in all competitions, has been ably supported by a hugely talented midfield that includes Camavinga and Valverde who, alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, have been positioned by the club to take over from veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Madrid’s hierarchy have been working hard in the background over new contracts for Camavinga and Valverde and an agreement has now been reached for the duo to prolong their stays.
Both players were already contracted to the club until 2027, but they have agreed to extend by another season – joining Vinicius in committing to a long-term project at the Santiago Bernabeu.
