Real Madrid targets contract renewals and new midfield signings

Real Madrid is actively working on several contract extensions and transfer targets to secure its squad for future seasons. The club is prioritizing the renewal of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, with reports indicating an imminent agreement to extend his stay until 2028, potentially breaking the club's standard policy for players over 30.

Additionally, the club has reached an agreement with Arda Güler to extend his contract until 2032. This move reflects the Turkish midfielder's rising status within the team and includes a significant salary increase.

Regarding future acquisitions, Real Madrid has identified Arsenal's Declan Rice as a priority target for the next season, looking to capitalize on his contract situation which expires in 2028. The club is also monitoring Martin Zubimendi as a potential defensive midfield reinforcement for the January transfer window, facing competition from Chelsea.
