Real Madrid Fine Tchouaméni And Valverde €1m In Total After Training Incident
Real Madrid have officially confirmed disciplinary action against Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde following the recent events that led to internal proceedings being opened against both players.
In an official statement released by the club, Real Madrid announced that each midfielder has been fined €500,000, bringing the total punishment to €1 million. However, no sporting sanctions have been imposed, meaning both players remain available for selection.
According to the statement, Tchouaméni and Valverde appeared before the investigating officer and expressed “sincere regret” over what happened. The pair reportedly apologized to each other, as well as to the club, teammates, coaching staff, and supporters.
Real Madrid also stated that both players fully cooperated with the investigation and accepted responsibility for their actions, leaving the final decision entirely in the hands of the club.
“In light of these circumstances, Real Madrid has decided to impose a fine of five hundred thousand euros on each player, thus concluding the corresponding internal procedures,” the statement read.
The decision appears aimed at drawing a line under the incident while avoiding further disruption inside the squad ahead of the final stages of the season.
Fans online have reacted strongly to the news, with many surprised by the size of the fines, while others praised the club for resolving the matter internally without suspensions or additional sporting measures.
