The news comes in full concentration with France, where Tchouaméni returned to train with the group at Bentley alongside the rest of the internationals. The midfielder had been working on the side due to a muscle injury that kept him from being available for the round of 16 clash against Paraguay, although he is not ruled out for today's match against Morocco.

The new contract extends a relationship that was due to end in 2028 and reinforces Real Madrid's commitment to a player who has grown in importance since his arrival. At the white club, he has established himself as a balancing piece in midfield, with a spot in the starting XI under the orders of Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa.

His importance has not been limited to the heart of the pitch. Tchouaméni's versatility has also allowed him to operate as a centre-back at different moments, a solution the team has used to cover defensive problems and adjust the XI when needed.

The Frenchman's continuity was even up in the air after a difficult season for the white side and a tense end to the campaign, with the incident involving the fight with Valverde included. Despite that backdrop, the interest from other European clubs and the status he maintains among the elite, the player's will was always to continue wearing white and to close this extension.

The arrival of Jose Mourinho has also influenced the club's decision. The planned moves for next season have the go-ahead from the Portuguese coach, who would have had a say in the renewal of a player considered important within the project.

While the agreement was being made public, Tchouaméni was joining training with his France teammates. During the session, the player spoke for a few minutes with Deschamps, keeping an eye on his physical condition before the midfielder joined the rest of the group's work.
