Real Madrid are reportedly ready to sell Aurelien Tchouameni after the midfielder has failed to show he’s up for the challenge in the long run.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are losing patience with Aurelien Tchouameni and would be prepared to sell him next summer. The Spanish giants hope to demand a hefty fee for the French midfielder, and Liverpool and Chelsea are among those interested.
The aftermath of a demoralising El Clasico defeat will have repercussions, with players criticised and tactics published, among other things. Barcelona’s 4-0 win at the Bernabeu will make it hard on several players, including Aurelien Tchouameni.
The French midfielder was wholly neutralised in his defensive midfield role and received massive criticism for his role in that performance. Outside of that match, there have been rumours that Real Madrid were open to selling him in the future, and that might be the case next summer.
Real Madrid are open to selling Tchouameni ahead of time and will demand a significant fee close to €90 million. There’s the element of losing trust in the player’s ability to perform at the highest level and sustain the challenge for many years to come.
From the report, it appears that the €90 million-rated Real Madrid star will be under tremendous pressure to perform well this season or risk losing out on a long career here. Alternatively, the Frenchman has been an important player in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans, who has even used him in his backline, which does cast some level of importance on his role in the side.
Liverpool and Chelsea keen on Tchouameni
If Tchouameni is genuinely available for sale, Liverpool will be on the charge to get the Frenchman, irrespective of the €90 million-rated Real Madrid star’s price tag. They are willing to invest heavily in the Frenchman should the opportunity arise.
Chelsea and a few others are also interested and will look into the idea of investing in the midfielder. For now, they already have a formidable midfield unit with the players present at the club, meaning Liverpool will feel they have a more significant need to add a player like Tchouameni if he is indeed available.
