Aurelien Tchouaméni is “in play”, the defensive midfielder who has previously been “untouchable” at Real Madrid. In recent months, there have been reports that the royal club is working on renewal in midfield, especially after what looks to end with the second season in a row without titles. First there were signals that Real were opening up for sale, then that the 26-year-old was holding on to the door frame at the Bernabeu to stay. Now the BBC reports an opening, where Manchester United are in a good position to take advantage of a unique opportunity.
The French international has 191 appearances in the Real Madrid shirt, but in the last six months there have been reports from Spain that the Real management is thinking hard about selling the 26-year-old this summer. It is known that the royal club are looking to bring in Rodri and Enzo Fernandez, a clear signal that Tshcouaméni’s position at Real has weakened.

The Telegraph reports strong interest at Manchester United, with the Premier League club closely monitoring the Frenchman’s situation. According to Tuttosport, Man United and the other clubs will have to shell out around €50 million for Tschouaménis’ signature. Earlier this week, hyperactive transfer journalist Romano reported that Camavinga has sent signals that he intends to stay at Madrid and do absolutely everything possible to convince the Real Madrid boss that he should stay at Los Blancos.
This was interpreted as the Frenchman closing the door on Manchester United, but according to the BBC , something is still going on.
The English state channel has sniffed out that Los Blancos prefer to extend the contract of the midfielder, but it is also reported that an opening could come with a big enough bid. The current season looks set to be a trophyless one for Real Madrid, and according to BBC Sport , this could lead to turbulent times this summer. Here, a big Tchouaméni bid from United could tempt Florentino Perez and co. to sell.
