The deal extends his stay at the club until 2031, a two-year extension beyond his original contract. Jose Mourinho, the manager, is reportedly a big admirer of the young player.\n\nTchouameni, the French midfielder, has also reached a new agreement to secure his future at the Bernabeu. The third renewal belongs to Arda Guler, one of Madrid's bright sparks this season. The Turkish international has agreed to a new deal that ties him to the club until 2031, reflecting his growing importance under Mourinho. Lastly, Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper, will be committing to a one-year extension, running until 2028, as per Real Madrid's policy of offering only a single season extension to veteran players.
