According to AS, Madrid refused to listen to any offers for the French international, who was simultaneously determined to remain in the Spanish capital, pledging to a new five-year deal. The deal comes at a time when Europe's elite continue to circle Madrid's young stars, but the club has remained firm in their stance. By extending his stay until 2031, Los Blancos are ensuring that one of the premier ball-winners in world football remains at the heart of their transitional project.
