Real Madrid had an eventful summer transfer window during which there were multiple new arrivals and exits.
At the same time, the Merengues also managed to work on some strategic contract renewals which will hold them in good stead.
Courtois, Brahim renewals done
Indeed, according to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have already successfully secured the contract renewals of first-team stars Thibaut Courtois and Brahim Diaz.
Courtois, the undisputed starter in goal for Los Blancos, has a contract that expires in the summer of 2026, meaning he has entered the final year of his deal.
However, Real Madrid have already moved to secure his renewal, with an agreement already reached between all parties and only the official signing and announcement remaining pending at this point.
It is understood that Courtois’ new deal will run until 2027, meaning a one-year extension keeping in line with the club’s policy for players over 30 years old.
As for Brahim, his contract with Los Blancos ran until 2027, but Real Madrid have offered him an extension after being pleased with his performances.
There were rumours of interest from clubs in England and Italy during the summer transfer window, but the Moroccan international never considered an exit and opted to extend his contract.
Romano states that the former Manchester City ace has already signed his new contract at Real Madrid and only the official announcement is pending at this point – much like with the renewal of Ferland Mendy, which was already signed last year but is yet to be announced.
By doing so, Real Madrid have tied down the futures of two important members of the team to the club.
