Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to extend his contract with Real Madrid, committing to the club for another five seasons, as reported by Spanish newspaper AS on Thursday.
The new deal, which awaits only the final signature and a post-holiday meeting, underscores the strategic investment the Madrid giants made in the French midfielder in the summer of 2022. They secured him from Monaco for 80 million euros, fending off interest from other top European clubs.
The agreement for the extension was reached smoothly, driven by mutual desire from both parties. The Blancos never entertained the idea of the player leaving, disregarding interest from clubs like Manchester United, who, according to English press reports, were already aware their efforts would be futile. The continuity of the French international, currently with France for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, was never in doubt.
Regarding the financial terms, the new contract reportedly stipulates a net salary of around nine million euros per season. The understanding was straightforward, as the 26-year-old believes Real Madrid offers the best environment for his continued career development.
The decision to renew originated from the club itself and received the full backing of José Mourinho, who views Tchouaméni as one of the best players in his position for controlling the team's play. Confidence in the former Monaco midfielder is, therefore, absolute.
For his part, the French international has consistently expressed his desire to remain and extend his commitment to the Spanish capital club. He feels completely at home with Real Madrid, the city, and the institution's values, which facilitated a swift and undisputed negotiation process.
