Real Madrid Confidencial Courtois and Brahim follow in Mendy's footsteps: real Madrid shows no signs
Surprising silence from the club raises doubts among Madridists
Real Madrid renewed Ferland Mendy's contract last summer, but it wasn't officially announced. However, everything was already settled because otherwise he would have left during this transfer window. A similar case seems to be happening with Courtois and Brahim.
Weeks ago, it was reported that Courtois and Brahim had reached an agreement with Real Madrid. Sources close to us confirmed to Defensa Central that their contract renewals were already agreed upon. However, days have passed and there hasn't been an official statement about it.
The uncertainty about their future continues even though it seemed like these would be two simple operations. As we said, this is a situation very similar to what happened with Mendy. This is surprising because Real Madrid usually announces its players' contract renewals.
In Brahim's case, this isn't something urgent because he is under contract until June 2027. Therefore, there would still be enough time to announce it and put an end to all the doubts surrounding him. However, Courtois's contract ends in June 2026, so everything will have to be finalized as soon as possible.
Two important players in Real Madrid's plans
Real Madrid had several important names on its list this summer with pending operations. This was the case with the contract renewals of Brahim and Courtois, footballers with long-term plans at the club. With whom they would have reached an agreement even though there hasn't been an announcement yet.
In Courtois's case, they still consider him the best goalkeeper and that's why they were willing to renew his contract. In addition, the Belgian goalkeeper is also happy at the club and wasn't thinking about leaving. The negotiations weren't something that worried them because they were on track.
In Brahim's case, he isn't a starting player, but he is also part of the long-term plans. Especially because of what he brings coming off the bench with the ability to change matches. He has received offers from other clubs, but he also wants to stay with the Madrid club.
