Real Madrid have already held preliminary talks with young midfielder Eduardo Camavinga over a contract extension, reports DEPREDICT.
Reports of a new deal for the 20-year-old future star were broken last week by Jorge C Picon, who claimed that Real Madrid wanted to offer the Frenchman a better pay packet and a longer contract owing to his rise in stature within the team since the turn of the year.
It was also reported that Los Blancos want to increase Camavinga’s release clause amount to €1 billion from €700 million, to send out a statement to the Premier League clubs who had been casting admiring glances towards him.
Now, The Athletic’s Mario Cortegana has corroborated those claims, stating that preliminary talks have already taken place with Camavinga over a new contract extension.
The 20-year-old joined Real Madrid from Rennes back in 2021, for a fee of around €31 million plus add-ons. He signed a contract with the club until 2027, meaning he still has more than four years left on his current deal.
But, the plan is for the club to add two or three more years to his contract, while also increasing his salary and inserting a €1 billion release clause as they are doing in the new deals for Eder Militao, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes.
Camavinga has grown into a pivotal player at Real Madrid this season, particularly after the World Cup break, with the young midfielder stepping it up a notch, so much so that Ancelotti called him an ‘untouchable’ for the present and the future.
And the former Rennes wonderkid could soon be rewarded with a new and improved contract by Real Madrid, although negotiations are said to be at a very early stage at this point.
