Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.
According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea have tabled an €80 million offer to sign 23-year-old French international midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Tchouameni joined Real Madrid from AS Monaco last summer. But he has not been able to live up to the expectations. Although the talented defensive midfielder has shown his quality at the Spanish club from time to time, his inconsistency has been a concern.
There have been rumours that Real Madrid could look to cash in on the player. And it seems that Chelsea are looking to take advantage of his situation. It is no secret that Chelsea will have to bring in midfield reinforcements this summer, and the French international could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition.
Despite his struggles at Real Madrid, the 23-year-old remains a world-class talent with a massive future ahead of him. He could be the ideal partner for Enzo Fernandez at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield next season.
Chelsea are likely to part ways with Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante this summer. They will need to replace both players adequately, and Tchouameni seems like the ideal option. It will be interesting to see if the 23-year-old is prepared to leave Real Madrid for a club that will not be in the Champions League next season.
There is no doubt that Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have the financial resources to compete with the European elite. Furthermore, they have a talented squad at their disposal and a top-class manager in charge.
Despite a poor season, they have the ability to compete for trophies next year. But it remains to be seen whether they can convince the Frenchman to join their project. Real Madrid recently signed English midfielder Jude Bellingham for a substantial amount of money. So they could be open to cashing in on the 23-year-old Frenchman if a good offer comes their way.

€80 million seems like a substantial amount for the midfielder, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. If a summer move is possible, several other clubs might also join the party amid links with Newcastle United.
