Real Madrid Done Deal: Which Signings Did Madrid Confirm in 2026?
Real Madrid confirmed six first-team signings for José Mourinho’s first season back at the Bernabéu. Two arrived on free transfers, and the club triggered release clauses for Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Espí, according to Sports Illustrated and TEAMtalk.
| Player | From | Announced | Contract to | Reported fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marc Cucurella | Chelsea | 15 Jun 2026 | 2032 | €55m + up to €5m (ESPN) |
| Bernardo Silva | Manchester City | 17 Jun 2026 | 2028 | Free |
| Ibrahima Konaté | Liverpool | 18 Jun 2026 | 2030 | Free |
| Denzel Dumfries | Inter | 5 Jul 2026 | 2030 | €20m release clause |
| Carlos Espí | Levante | 30 Jul 2026 | 2031 | €25m release clause |
| Yan Diomande | RB Leipzig | 6 Aug 2026 | 2033 | €125m + up to €15m (The Athletic) |
Real Madrid publishes no fees, so the figures above come from The Athletic, ESPN, Sports Illustrated and Transfermarkt. The contract dates come from each official club announcement.
Official Announcement: Diomande— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadriden) August 6, 2026
Diomande, 19, cost the most by far. Madrid beat Liverpool and PSG to the Ivory Coast winger, The Athletic reported. All six newcomers debuted together in the 2-1 win at Espanyol on 22 August, and Espí scored the 90th-minute winner. Cucurella’s move ended his Chelsea spell (see our Chelsea news now page), and Bernardo left City as a free agent (follow Man City’s next game and the latest Manchester City news).
Who Left Real Madrid in the Summer 2026 Window?
| Player | Destination | Type | Announced | Reported fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dani Carvajal | No new club yet | Contract ended | 18 May 2026 | Free |
| David Alaba | Reports differ | Contract ended | 22 May 2026 | Free |
| Dani Ceballos | Real Betis | Mutual exit | 26 Jun 2026 | Free |
| Fran García | Real Betis | Transfer | 8 Jul 2026 | €4m |
| Gonzalo García | Fulham | Transfer | 3 Aug 2026 | €40m |
| César Palacios | Fulham | Transfer | Summer 2026 | €10m |
| Franco Mastantuono | Fiorentina | Loan to 30 Jun 2027 | 6 Aug 2026 | Loan |
Madrid kept a 30% sell-on clause and matching rights on Gonzalo García, TEAMtalk reports. Transfermarkt also lists two academy sales: Mario Martín to Getafe (€3.5m) and Fran González to Sevilla (€1m). Endrick came back from his Lyon loan and stayed. Gonzalo and Palacios now play in England, so you can follow Fulham through our Premier League fixtures guide and their recent cup clash with West Ham. Sources disagree on Alaba: TEAMtalk says he joined Udinese in September, while Transfermarkt still shows him without a club.
Which Players Has Real Madrid Renewed in 2026?
One major renewal is official. Real Madrid extended Vinícius Júnior’s contract to 30 June 2032 on 6 August, ending talk of a move to Arsenal.
- Arda Güler: Fabrizio Romano reported on 10 September that Güler agreed a new deal to June 2032. On 8 October, Romano still described it as “to sign soon”, so it stays unofficial for now.
- Thibaut Courtois and Jude Bellingham: Romano wrote on 8 October that Courtois comes “next” and that Madrid plan Bellingham contract talks.
- Mbappé: the club has announced no extension (details below).
Mbappé News Today: What Is Happening at Real Madrid?
Mbappé scored for France in Türkiye on 25 September and hurt his left knee in the same match. Our football injury updates hub carries the full medical timeline, so we won’t repeat it here. Real Madrid posted footage of him training at Ciudad Real Madrid on 5 October:
MARCA and AS report that he trained fully with the group on Wednesday 7 October. That puts him in line to face Villarreal at the Bernabéu on Saturday 10 October at 8:00 PM WAT. Real Madrid sit fourth in LaLiga with 15 points from seven games, six behind leaders Barcelona (ESPN).
Off the pitch, the noise keeps growing:
- Mourinho reprimand: L’Equipe says Mourinho scolded Mbappé after he posted cycling clips from Switzerland during his recovery, and that his future now looks uncertain (ESPN, 8 October).
- Dressing room: Mundo Deportivo reported on 6 October that some teammates and club figures resent his trips away while injured.
- Pundit view: RMC’s Daniel Riolo said, “We do not rule out his departure at the end of the season” (Goal, 7 October).
- Ballon d’Or backing: Aurélien Tchouaméni and Raúl Asencio both said Mbappé deserves the award (via Romano, 8 October).
For his goals on the biggest stage, read our highest goal scorer at the World Cup guide. His next huge test comes in El Clásico at Camp Nou on 25 October (9:00 PM WAT), where he meets Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
How Long Is Mbappé’s Contract at Real Madrid?
Mbappé signed for five seasons on 3 June 2024, so his Real Madrid contract runs to 30 June 2029, according to the club’s announcement that day. Neither the club nor the player has announced talks on a new deal. According to L’Equipe via ESPN, Madrid would not consider offers below €200m.
The “Mbappé Out” petition first went viral in May 2026, when Sky Sports counted more than 30 million signatures. Nobody has verified those totals. Sky also suggested Saudi Arabia as his likeliest destination if he ever leaves; see the Saudi Pro League table. As of 8 October, we found no credible report of a January bid for him.
Real Madrid January Transfer: Who Could Come or Go?
Expect very little January business. We found no credible report linking Madrid with a January signing, and the two names in play could only leave.
- Rodrygo: Madrid have closed the door on a January exit, Romano reported on 8 October. He tore his ACL in March and targets a return in January 2027. Arsenal’s interest sits on hold, as our Arsenal transfer news explains.
- Endrick: Romano says a January loan becomes possible if his minutes stay low through November. Roma, Milan and Aston Villa wanted him last summer, and Liverpool explored a permanent move.
| Player | Rumour | Reported by | Date | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arda Güler | New contract to 2032 | Fabrizio Romano | 10 Sep and 8 Oct 2026 | Agreed, awaiting announcement |
| Rodrygo | No January exit | Fabrizio Romano | 8 Oct 2026 | Strong |
| Endrick | Possible January loan | Fabrizio Romano | 8 Oct 2026 | Medium |
| Jarell Quansah | Summer 2027 interest | Sky Germany via ESPN | 8 Oct 2026 | Medium |
| Bastoni or Schlotterbeck | Centre-back for 2027 | Madrid Universal, citing Romano | 8 Oct 2026 | Low to medium |
| Finn Jeltsch | One of several suitors | FCInterNews via ESPN | 8 Oct 2026 | Low |
What Are Real Madrid’s Transfer Plans for Summer 2027?
Romano says Madrid’s main 2027 target is a top centre-back, with midfield the other area to strengthen (Madrid Universal, 8 October). Konaté arrived, but Alaba left, and Éder Militão has not played this season. Sky Germany adds that Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal all watch Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah, while Liverpool hold a €70m clause to re-sign him until June 2027.
Two names fans keep searching have gone elsewhere or gone quiet. Rodri joined Barcelona from Manchester City on 18 August, and Michael Olise drew summer links (Sports Illustrated) that never became a deal.
When Does the January Transfer Window Open in Spain?
| Window | Opens | Closes |
|---|---|---|
| LaLiga summer 2026 | 1 July 2026 | 1 September 2026 |
| LaLiga winter 2027 | 2 January 2027 | 2 February 2027 |
LaLiga lists both windows and counts both end dates. Contract renewals, such as Güler’s, can land any day because they need no window. Track Madrid’s European run on our Champions League 2026/27 table.
