Exemplary punishment, Madrid's idea on Valverde and Tchouameni, Onda Cero | OneFootball

Real Madrid is going through one of its most tense institutional moments after the serious incidents that recently took place at Real Madrid City involving Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.

As Alberto Pereiro reported on Onda Cero, the club is considering a range of sanctions that reflects the scale of what happened in what is already being described as the most serious episode in the history of Valdebebas. In short, an exemplary punishment.

The sporting consequences for Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni could be immediate. The club is weighing a suspension of between 3 and 10 matches for both players.

This measure would leave Álvaro Arbeloa's system without these two players in the final stretch of the league season, underlining that internal discipline takes precedence over on-field needs.

An unprecedented financial fine

On the financial side, the board does not intend to hold back. An unprecedented financial fine is being considered that could reach 5% of the players’ gross salary.

In real terms, this would mean a payment of close to 500,000 euros each, a "brutal" figure intended to set an absolute precedent in the club’s disciplinary code.

They will not be let go in the summer

Despite the severity of the punishment and the fact that Valverde is being pointed to as one of the main figures responsible, Real Madrid does not plan to part ways with them in the summer transfer window.

The club is backing an exemplary sanction, but it is maintaining its sporting faith in two players who, until now, were considered the future of Madrid’s midfield.
