After a mixed start to the season on the pitch, Real Madrid have been anything but quiet off it.

The club are understood to be working through a busy period of contract negotiations, with several key deals said to be cooking behind the scenes.

According to Fabrizio Romano , as many as four renewals are now almost complete and simply await their official announcements.

Bellingham and Tchouameni lead the way

The headline name is Jude Bellingham, with the England international having reached a verbal agreement over a new long-term contract that will keep him at the club for the next five years.

That deal is described as done and closed, with only the exchange of documents between lawyers left before an official ceremony is held.

Madrid were determined to get it over the line, keen to ward off any future Premier League interest and convinced that Bellingham will be a central leader of their project.

The reported terms would extend his stay until 2031 , two years beyond his original deal, with Jose Mourinho said to be a huge admirer.

Aurelien Tchouameni is also in line for fresh terms. The French midfielder was linked with Manchester United over the summer, but a new agreement is now in place to secure his future at the Bernabeu.

Guler and Courtois complete the quartet

The third renewal belongs to Arda Guler, one of the brightest sparks in Madrid’s season so far.

As reported earlier, the Turkey international has agreed a new deal that ties him to the club until 2031. That extension, which came with a salary increase, reflects his growing importance under Mourinho and is simply awaiting confirmation.

Completing the set is Thibaut Courtois, whose situation differs slightly from the rest.

While the younger trio are committing to five-year deals, the goalkeeper’s renewal is for a single additional season, running until 2028, as part of Real Madrid’s policy of handing out only a one-year extension to veteran players.

The deals are mostly done and are expected to be announced in the near future.
