Real Madrid could open renewal talks with a key pillar of Xabi Alonso’s project – report | OneFootball

According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are planning to improve Aurelien Tchouameni’s contract, offering him a pay rise and an extension.

The French midfielder’s current deal runs until 2028, but if he continues to perform at a high level this season, the club is ready to make good on the promises made when he first signed.

Tchouameni has been displaying impressive form, combining tactical intelligence with physical dominance in midfield.

As such, he has established himself as a pillar of the squad. Real Madrid are keen to retain him and believe he will remain a vital part of the team for years to come.

At just 25, he has plenty of room to grow, making it unlikely that the club would consider selling him despite interest from other teams closely monitoring his progress.

Despite the transfer speculation, Tchouameni has been clear about his intentions. He wants to make the most of the remaining years on his contract and aims to stay at Real Madrid for as long as possible.

When the time comes for contract renewal talks, he is expected to engage with the club and work towards a mutually beneficial agreement.

These discussions could begin at the end of the current season or during the next, but Tchouameni’s continued performance will be key to the process.

For now, Real Madrid’s priority is keeping him performing at the highest level. If he maintains his form, the club will be ready to reward him with improved terms and secure his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

His growth, leadership, and consistency make him one of the most important players in the squad, and the club is eager to ensure he remains at the heart of their midfield for seasons to come.
