Real Madrid Extends Courtois, Plans Squad Rebuild

News summary

Real Madrid have extended Thibaut Courtois' contract until 2027, granting him a salary increase and breaking their tradition of short-term deals for older players to secure his long-term role after his return from ACL injury and a notable error in the Copa del Rey final. Courtois played a key part in the recent Champions League victory and was lauded for his performances in the Club World Cup. The club will also announce new contracts for Brahim Diaz and Raul Asencio, with Asencio's deal running through 2031. Real Madrid may terminate the contract of Reinier if the 23-year-old cannot secure a transfer this summer, following disappointing loan spells. These contract decisions signal a strategy to blend experienced leadership with youth as Real Madrid rebuild under new head coach Xabi Alonso. The changes come after a disappointing 2024-25 season for the club.
