Real Madrid prodigy loved by teammates, Ancelotti and Perez, renewal to be finalised soon
Eduardo Camavinga was Real Madrid’s breakthrough player last season. The youngster rapidly rose to prominence and is now one of the fundamental pieces of Carlo Ancelotti’s dynamics.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Florentino Perez, Carlo Ancelotti and all the players of the team love the French star. There is no intention of selling Camavinga despite the rumours going around.
The youngster has not yet signed a contract renewal with the club, but everything is in place for the formal signing to be completed in the coming days. From the player’s side, he does not contemplate any option other than renewing with the club of his dreams.
The 20-year-old sensation has a deal with Real Madrid that runs until the summer of 2027. Los Blancos hope to improve his release clause to €1 billion and offer him a higher payscale on his new contract.
Camavinga participated in 37 of Real Madrid’s league games last season, scoring one goal and providing two assists. Yet, one should note that most of his contributions on the field came at left-back last season given the manager’s lack of options to replace Ferland Mendy.
Unlike the 2022-23 campaign, the youngster will be a regular in midfield in the coming season. In fact, the manager sees the French protege as a regular starter irrespective of the formation he opts for, given his versatile skillset.
The former Rennes starlet spent the final phase of his vacations at Rio de Janeiro with Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes. The trio also linked up with their fitness coaches in the process to prepare themselves for the long season ahead and are expected to join the rest of the squad later this week.

Real Madrid rejected two goalkeeper signings in the summer to back veteran star – report
Real Madrid’s number so far this season may not highlight Thibaut Courtois’ brilliance, but the fact of the matter is that the Belgian star has been simply stellar.
Having just two clean sheets so far underplays his brilliance significantly, but it has more to do with the team’s defensive lacunae.
Yesterday, word broke out that the Belgian star is set to renew his deal with Real Madrid and that an agreement in principle has been reached. Despite his age, after all, he continues to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Real Madrid backing Courtois
As reported by Fabrizio Romano in a recent update, Real Madrid have been thinking about the goalkeeping situation for a while now, and agents of goalkeepers across the globe naturally have knowledge of the same.
In fact, the club have been offered two goalkeeper signings since the summer alone. However, they did not waste any time in rejecting the approaches.
Los Blancos maintained a strong response to the representatives of the said goalkeepers.
“We have the best goalkeeper in the world,” they said, making it clear that they do not see a need to replace the veteran yet. Now, the player will stay at the club for longer after his renewal.
No signs or plans of stopping
At 34 years of age, it is understandable that Real Madrid are only offering a renewal until 2027-28 to the player.
However, Courtois himself has no plans to stop for at least the next five years and sees himself as capable of operating at the highest level for long.
Los Blancos, for their part, will continue assessing the player’s performances and rewarding him with optimal renewals based on the same.
As matters stand, however, he is the best goalkeeper in the world and will stay at the club next season. The longer-term plan will depend on his output level.
So far this season, the former Chelsea star has maintained two clean sheets, and the most recent of them came against Villarreal at the weekend.
Needless to say, his objective will be to keep the momentum going as the season progresses into a critical month ahead.
