Real Madrid concluded their 2023-24 campaign by winning the Champions League final, which capped another excellent season for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Los Blancos beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium to make it a La Liga and European Cup double last term, and the club will now be targeting more success during the current season.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Real Madrid players whose contracts either expire next season or in the summer of 2026.

  • Copa del Rey (2): 2013-14, 2022-23

  • Carvajal got his name on the scoresheet in the 2023-24 Champions League final, putting in a man-of-the-match performance at Wembley Stadium.

    The 32-year-old is out for the entire 2024-25 season due to a serious knee injury, but he has recently had his contract extended until the summer of 2026.

  • Courtois missed the majority of last season with a serious knee injury, but the Belgian did return towards the end of the campaign and featured in the Champions League final.

    The 32-year-old remains one of the best goalkeepers in world football, and it would not be a surprise to see him soon pen a new contact with the capital giants.

  • Rudiger was a vital player for Real Madrid during the 2023-24 campaign, making 48 appearances in all competitions, and he has been an excellent performer for the club over the last two seasons.
