Manchester United Eye Real Madrid Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni

Over the past decade, Manchester United has successfully secured the services of several stars from Real Madrid. Angel Di Maria made the move in 2014, followed by Raphael Varane in 2021, and Casemiro in the subsequent summer transfer window. Now, it appears that another player could potentially make the switch from Santiago Bernabeu to Old Trafford.

While Real Madrid may not have great depth in many areas, their midfield is an exception. With the recent addition of Jude Bellingham to an already strong midfield lineup, questions have emerged regarding the future of Aurelien Tchouameni. The Frenchman arrived at Real Madrid just last summer from AS Monaco but experienced a dip in form during the second half of the 2022/23 season, leading to him losing his spot in the starting lineup.

The arrival of Bellingham has raised further concerns about Tchouameni’s position in the team hierarchy. As a result, the talented midfielder has been linked with several Premier League clubs in recent weeks and months.

According to El Nacional (via 90min), Manchester United officials are scheduled to travel to Spain for discussions with Real Madrid regarding a potential move for Tchouameni. United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen on acquiring the services of the French midfielder.

Although Tchouameni had an impressive start to his Real Madrid career last season, he seemed to struggle after the World Cup. Towards the end of the campaign, he lost his status as a guaranteed starter and often found himself on the bench for important matches.

Despite his recent challenges, it might be premature for Real Madrid to consider parting ways with Tchouameni. The talented midfielder deserves a second season at the Santiago Bernabeu to demonstrate his true capabilities and potential impact on the team. The talks between Manchester United and Real Madrid will shed more light on Tchouameni’s future as the clubs explore the possibilities in the upcoming discussions.
