The atmosphere at Valdebebas is tense, with long-standing staff members characterising the incident as the most serious disciplinary matter ever witnessed at the training ground.

The gravity of the situation has led to intense internal scrutiny regarding the conduct expected of professional athletes representing the badge.

Departures not being considered

Despite the severity of these events, Real Madrid appear committed to the players’ long-term roles. Both Tchouameni and Valverde are still considered integral to the future of the project.

However, it is understood that the board views Valverde’s involvement with particular disappointment.

Given his status as a captain within the first-team squad, the hierarchy places a higher degree of accountability on the Uruguayan international, noting that leadership positions carry an inherent responsibility to uphold the club’s values.

As the season draws to a close, Real Madrid find themselves in uncharted territory, balancing the need for strict disciplinary action with the long-term stability of the squad.

The coming days will reveal how the club manages this internal crisis and whether these record-breaking fines will serve as a definitive deterrent for future misconduct.
