Two of Real Madrid's hot young things, 21-year-old attacker Marco Asensio and 24-year-old center back Raphael Varane, have signed contract extensions that will keep them at the club until 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Asensio is one of the brightest young attackers in the world, and was arguably Real Madrid's best player during Cristiano Ronaldo's suspension. Varane has finally locked down a full-time starting spot at the back, and looks poised to be Real Madrid's rock for years to come.
Real Madrid are going to be very good for a very long time, and Marco Asensio and Raphael Varane are two big reasons why. Los Blancos have somehow managed to assemble one of the most destructively talented sides of all time, loaded with elite players in their prime, while also assembling a solid young core and building for the future.
