Softfootball confirms that Federico Valverde was back in training with Real Madrid on Friday 15th May 2026. This follows reports of an incident involving Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni during the previous week.
According to reports, both players have since apologised to the squad after the incident and were each fined €500,000 by the club.
An internal mediation process has also taken place between the two players as Real Madrid look to restore harmony in the dressing room as Tchouaméni was still available for selection during the club’s El Clásico defeat to Barcelona.
The situation has raised questions around discipline within the squad, with ongoing speculation linking José Mourinho to a potential managerial return to restore order and structure at the club.
