Real Madrid’s homepage announced the signing of a contract extension with French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The new contract between the two sides will allow the Les Bleus player to stay with Los Blancos until 2029.

Camavinga is the 3rd player in a row to be awarded a new contract by Real Madrid within the last 1 week after Vinicius Junior (2027) and Rodrygo Goes (2028). Similar to his two seniors, the 21-year-old midfielder’s contract also has a release clause worth up to 1 billion Euros.

Eduardo Camavinga joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 and has so far made 114 appearances for the Spanish giant. During this time, the French player won a full set of 6 titles with the club, including UEFA Champions League, La Liga, King’s Cup, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

The former Rennes midfielder is also a key member of the French national team, contributing greatly to the journey that helped Les Bleus reach the 2022 World Cup final. Here, Camavinga entered the field in the 70th minute and contributed to helping the French national team regain the match before Mbappe scored 3 goals to send the match into extra time and a penalty shootout.

 

The renewal move with Camavinga is also said to be part of Real Madrid’s long-term plan to attract Mbappe to join. At this time, Los Blancos owns 3 current and former players for the French national team, including Camavinga, Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy.

In particular, the couple Tchouameni and Camavinga have contracts until 2028 and 2029 respectively. Both will certainly be effective partners to support Mbappe if he really joins Real Madrid in the future.
