How the years have flown by. I can still remember the first time I walked into the Bernabéu stadium.
The atmosphere in the changing rooms. The sound of fans cheering from the stands. Three years later, I’m happy to announce my contract extension with Real Madrid until 2026.
My family and friends recently asked me where I’d like to play in the coming years. My answer remains the same today as it was when I was a little boy: Real Madrid. Adding two more years in the best shirt in the world makes that childhood dream even sweeter. I love being a part of Real Madrid. It’s a blessing to extend my family at home with a whole new one on the field.
Prolonging my relationship with the Real Madrid family until 2026 is a true honour. Real Madrid is my home, and I’m grateful to be so warmly welcomed here. To me, this extension is a reward for my efforts over the past year. It encourages me to work even harder and give my all to the best club in the world. Over the next five years, I will do my best together with our team to acquire new trophies for our Madridistas.
It’s no secret that winning the Champions League with Real Madrid is at the top of my wish list. But here’s a promise from me to you - I’ll start every match like there’s a trophy at stake. This club and its fans deserve that. Real Madrid already has a well-stocked trophy cabinet. Still, I would be very proud if I could look back and say that my teammates and I added a few more cups to the glorious history of this club. I’m looking forward to a bright future with Real Madrid.
Hala Madrid!
Thibaut.
