20-year-old Real Madrid prodigy has renewed until 2028 with €1bn release clause
In a huge development, MARCA’s Jose Felix Diaz has claimed that Eduardo Camavinga has renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 2028 with an improvement in his wages and a massive €1 billion release clause.
Camavinga signed for Real Madrid in 2021, penning a six-year contract with the club until 2027. The 20-year-old midfield prodigy has grown into a key player at the Santiago Bernabeu over the past couple of seasons with his technical ability, energy, and versatility.
Talks about a new deal for Camavinga have been doing the rounds for a while now. Reports had suggested that club president Florentino Perez was keen to offer him a new and improved deal with a bigger release clause.
The details of the agreement had been worked upon over the course of the season and as per the report, the contract renewal was closed a few days ago.
The Real Madrid administration was keen on rewarding Camavinga for his contributions and making sure that he feels valued.
And they have now gone and done so by handing him a new five-year deal, placing him at a higher level in the salary scale at the club while also raising his release clause to a mammoth €1 billion.
As mentioned earlier, Camavinga has grown into a pivotal part of the team at the Santiago Bernabeu. And reports suggest that despite the wealth of options in midfield, the 20-year-old prodigy is set to be a regular starter next season.
The Merengues plan to officially announce the midfielder’s renewal, along with those of Vinicius Jr., Eder Militao, and Rodrygo Goes very soon.

Jose Mourinho wants more attacking options at Real Madrid despite reaching 500-goal milestone
Jose Mourinho wants Real Madrid to become even more dangerous in attack, despite reaching a significant milestone during their 4-3 victory over AS Roma.
According to MARCA, it has come to light that Antonio Rudiger’s goal against Roma helped Mourinho’s Real Madrid reach 500 goals under his management.
However, the achievement has not changed the Portuguese coach’s desire to add more variety to his team’s attacking play.
In fact, Mourinho wants a side capable of controlling possession, launching rapid counter-attacks and creating danger from set pieces, all without losing the defensive discipline that defines his approach.
Mourinho targets attacking variety at Real Madrid
Real Madrid already have considerable firepower at their disposal, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Yan Diomande, Arda Guler, Carlos Espi and Endrick, giving Mourinho several attacking options.
On top of that, the injured Rodrygo would provide another high-quality alternative once available.
Hence, the challenge is not only to score more goals, but to make Real Madrid less predictable.
Mourinho wants his forwards to exploit their pace in transition while ensuring the team can also break down opponents through patient build-up play.
Set pieces are another important part of his plans, as combining those threats with defensive organisation would give the team more ways to control matches and punish different types of opposition.
Mourinho reaches 500 goals for Real Madrid
Rudiger’s strike against Roma carried added significance because it took Mourinho to 500 goals in 188 matches as Real Madrid manager.
That works out at an average of 2.66 goals per game, the best return among club managers who have overseen at least 50 matches.
La Liga accounts for the largest share, with Real Madrid scoring 345 goals in 122 matches.
They have added 92 goals in 38 Champions League games, 55 in 24 Copa del Rey matches and eight in four Spanish Super Cup fixtures.
Their biggest victory during this spell came in the 2010-11 Copa del Rey, when Madrid beat Levante 8-0.
This season, though, the team are averaging 2.5 goals per match.
Mourinho wants more from Real Madrid’s attack
The numbers underline Real Madrid’s scoring power, but Mourinho is looking beyond the milestone.
His ambition is to build a more versatile attack that can adapt to different opponents rather than rely solely on individual brilliance or quick transitions.
With Mbappe and Vinicius offering pace and penetration, and several other options providing different qualities, Madrid have the personnel to develop that flexibility.
Hence, the next step is making those strengths work together consistently.
