Real Madrid may have struggled mid-season, but they've put things back on track in recent weeks. Carlo Ancelotti's side are in the Copa del Rey final, where they will face Osasuna, and in the Champions League semi-final, where they will face Manchester City. So a brace is still on the cards, and they could also have an away chance in La Liga, with Barcelona struggling on recent form and dropping points.
One of the players who deserves immense credit when joining Real Madrid in recent months is Eduardo Camavinga. The French player looks great after the World Cup break. It's easy to forget that he struggled to get game time in the first half of the campaign and it was even suggested that Camavinga should be loaned out for regular play. However, he looks like a transformed player after the World Cup and is now one of Real Madrid's most important players.
Therefore, it looks like the club could extend his contract soon. And the Frenchman deserves it.
Real Madrid are set to sign a new contract with a 1 billion euro release clause
As Fabrizio Romano tweeted, Real Madrid will prepare a new contract proposal for Camavinga in the coming months. The plan is to include a higher release clause, this will be discussed soon and it could amount to 1 billion euros.
Camavinga has been linked with numerous Premier League clubs in recent months and it's not hard to see why, given the form he's been in. But it is suggested that he sees his long-term future at Real Madrid.
If Camavinga can continue to play like this and develop further, he could be a regular starter in Real Madrid's squad for more than a decade. After all, he's only 16 right now.

Kieron Dyer has said that Newcastle United superstar Bruno Guimaraes "should be in the Brazil squad", but the midfielder has been a Brazil international for almost three years.
Newcastle United icon Kieron Dyer says Bruno Guimaraes "should be part of the Brazilian squad", even though the midfielder is already part of the team.
Guimaraes has been one of the stars of Newcastle's top seasons, with the warblers on the verge of winning the Champions League. And his form has gone unnoticed in his homeland, when he was part of the Brazilian squad for the World Cup.
When Guimaraes signed for Newcastle in January 2022, he was already a full-time Brazilian, making his debut in 2020. But that hasn't stopped Dyer from suggesting he should be in the squad. "What is Kieron Dyer doing today?!? Bruno should be in the Brazil team...? Uh he's...! Top expert," one fan asked.
However, it is possible that Dyer's comments were misplaced on the move, as the former Newcastle star has praised Guimaraes this season. And interestingly, Dyer criticized then-Brazilian coach Tite for not allowing the midfielder to start. Speaking in January, Dyer said:
"He's irreplaceable. I think since they signed him, he [has] the most assists, the most tackles and probably the fifth-highest scorer. two for them."

“If you could pick the squad of the season, for me he could be with Eriksen, de Bruyne and Xhaka – [currently] the top four midfielders in the league. He's a big player and I'm happy he played here today."
