Real Madrid return to action in nine days time, when they'll visit Sevilla for a La Liga fixture. In the meantime, we have plenty of news to discuss- contract extensions and massive release clauses for Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde and Vinicius Jr.
Let's start with Camavinga, 20, whose new deal will see his time at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (at least in theory) extend until 2028.
That is according to an article in COPE, a French outlet that reports the midfielder will see a significant increase in salary and his contract's release clause.
How big is that release clause now? A whopping EUR1 billion (PS862m/$1.06bn), so that means only the biggest, boldest and richest clubs could procure him away from Madrid now.
It has been reported that the extreme releases clause increases were referred to as the Anti-Saudi clauses, due to the financial aggression of the clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
Ditto for Vini and Fede Valverde, they are also newly minted men with EUR1 billion release clauses. With Vini and Valverde, the new contract extensions will run until 2027, and of course, come with a new augmentation in pay grade.
Vini's previous release clause had been thought to be around EUR700 million. The Brazilian scoring sensation and dancing machine has established himself as an integral part of the Madrid attack.
As for Valverde, he is now a cannot be dropped first team regular, with the 25-year-old Uruguayan now receiving his just payday.
All three are considered an integral part of the future of the club. Not just the future, but the present too.
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema leaving, and Toni Kroos and Luka Modric aging/taking on lesser roles, we have seen a changing of the guard in Madrid.
