Real Madrid puts £70m asking price on Tchouameni

Real

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is one of the names on Manchester United’s radar as the club looks to bring in at least two senior midfielders this summer, talkSPORT understands.

The France international is currently contracted until 2028 and there is no guarantee Real chose to sell. In fact, talkSPORT understands a contract extension is also possible.

However, the LaLiga club are working on funding their own midfield revamp and may need to raise funds. Man City’s Rodri is among their leading targets, while Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has flirted with a move to the Bernabeu and is waiting to see if Real make an approach.

Even if Rodri doesn’t extend at Man City, which is the club’s preference, the Ballon d’Or winner will still command a significant fee should Pep Guardiola’s side choose to sell, while Chelsea will not entertain a Fernandez exit at a book loss.

Sources close to Tchouameni insist he’s happy at Real Madrid. The 26-year-old has made 44 appearances this season, scoring two goals. He is valued by Real at in excess of £70m.

Manchester United view adding multiple midfielders as their top priority this summer. A number six like Tchouameni is the most pressing concern following the departure of Casemiro.
