The Spanish giants are negotiating renewals for Thibaut Courtois, Antonio Rudiger, and Dani Carvajal to ensure long-term squad stability.

Among them, Courtois is closest to agreeing terms, having returned from injury with exceptional performances that reaffirmed his importance to the club.

The Belgian goalkeeper’s loyalty and consistent excellence have made him a top priority in Real Madrid’s renewal agenda this summer.

Antonio Rudiger is also set for an extension after stepping up last season during injury crises involving Militao and Alaba.

Rudiger’s leadership, reliability, and consistency have positioned him as a cornerstone of the Madrid defence moving forward.

Veteran right-back Dani Carvajal is also in talks, valued for his decade-long service, experience, and influence in the dressing room.

While defensive deals progress, Vinicius Jr.’s renewal remains stalled due to his demand for a salary higher than Kylian Mbappe’s.

Real Madrid are reluctant to break their wage structure and have warned they won’t be pressured into an inflated deal, reports Madrid Universal.

Despite the Vinicius uncertainty, Madrid are securing a strong foundation to support younger stars and future signings moving forward.
