Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde is delighted with his new contract.

The Uruguay international has penned a deal to 2029.

Valverde said upon putting pen to paper: "It's a huge joy to return to such a special place and to share such an important renewal with my family. I'm at the best club in the world and I'm very proud.

"Real Madrid has given me everything. The maturity and the values of being a good person, being a good player, growing up and being an example for children. Madrid is the image of the whole world and we are the examples. It's a great pleasure to be able to represent this badge.

"It's impossible to say no to Real Madrid. It's the most beautiful thing there is. When the club president tells you that you have the opportunity to renew your contract with this club, you don't think twice about it.

"All Madrid players are hungry for titles and we can't live without winning. Winning is everything. When I do, I'm the happiest man in the world and when I don't, I feel I've lost a lot. The day I don't have that feeling, I won't be part of Real Madrid."

He added, "When I'm playing in my natural position, as a midfielder on the right or in the centre, that's when I can show my qualities the most. But I'm at the team's disposal for whatever they need and if a player is missing, I'll try to help wherever I can. On the pitch, I'll give my best and off the pitch I'll try to add energy and encouragement."
