Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho intends to retain Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde as key members of his roster. This decision comes as Dani Ceballos has officially departed the team as a free agent this summer. While the status of Eduardo Camavinga remains unclear, Mourinho is firm in his desire to build his upcoming squad around Tchouameni and Valverde.
Reports confirm that Tchouameni has finalized a five-year contract extension, an agreement expected to be formally announced shortly. Football journalist Fabrizio Romano noted on X that the paperwork for the deal, which runs through June 2031, has already been vetted by legal counsel. Furthermore, the club is expected to secure additional contract renewals for several other players in the near future.
