Real Madrid Confidencial It's not Vinícius: the player talks about his contract renewal and makes it very clear what he wants to do
Courtois states that he is in negotiations to renew his contract and affirms that his desire is to retire at Real Madrid
Thibaut Courtois has broken the silence about his future. Real Madrid's goalkeeper has publicly confirmed his desire to stay at the club. He has done so without hesitation: he wants to remain at Bernabéu until the end of his career.
"Renew? Talks are ongoing. My intention is to stay for many years. I'd like to retire here," the Belgian explained.
These words haven't gone unnoticed. They come just as rumors about changes in the white team's goal for next season are intensifying.
Renewal ready to be announced
Although Courtois speaks of ongoing negotiations, sources close to the board assure that the new contract is already finalized.
The current agreement was set to end in 2026. The renewal will extend it until June 2027.
There are no performance clauses. It's a fully guaranteed contract. Courtois will remain at the top of European soccer, regardless of the number of matches he plays.
The idea is to reward his professionalism and his status within the locker room. The official announcement of the agreement could come in the next few days.
Calm present and clear future
Courtois is on vacation after the Club World Cup, a tournament that ended with good feelings for him after his return from injury.
During the break, he made a special appearance at the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix. There, he was in charge of starting the sprint race and presenting awards to the top three finishers.
Beyond the spotlight, the truth is that Thibaut is focused on returning to his highest level. He will rejoin training at Valdebebas on August 4.
Real Madrid's official season will begin on the 19th of the same month. It'll be at home, against Osasuna. At 33 years old, Courtois remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
The club values his experience, leadership, and commitment. That's why they've wanted to secure his continuity without conditions.
He's not Vinícius, but he has also spoken clearly. Courtois wants to stay in white, and everything indicates that this will be the case.
