At the age of 20, the Frenchman has won all kinds of domestic trophies with Los Blancos, in addition to the Champions League in 2020/21. According to reports from Marca, the Madrid hierarchy has deemed it fit to reward him with a new contract.

Last season was even more remarkable as Camavinga showcased his versatility to a greater degree by operating as a makeshift left-back.

It has been a window of extensions for the La Liga giants, with Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos, and Luka Modric all penning new deals to confirm their commitment to the club.

Reports from Goal have also emerged that Madrid are on the verge of announcing Vinicius Junior’s new five-year extension, which has been in place for a long time.

The Brazilian winger enjoyed yet another stellar season last term, racking up 23 goals and 21 assists in all competitions as well as enhancing his status as the one of world’s top-most forwards.

Vinicius to become top earner

Vinicius is set to become a top earner with the new deal, and his release clause has been set at €1 billion, similar to Camavinga’s new deal.

Los Merengues have so far signed Jude Bellingham, Joselu, and Fran Garcia in the summer transfer window, with Brahim Diaz also returning to the Spanish capital after his loan spell at AC Milan.

Modric extends Real Madrid contract

Sports Brief earlier reported veteran midfielder, Luka Modric will stay at Madrid for another season after renewing his deal until June 2024.

Modric, 38, remains a key player for Madrid and decided to stay despite strong interest from Saudi Arabia.
