Chelsea remain interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni, but Real Madrid have defined conditions that could see them entertain offers.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea are still interested in Aurelien Tchouameni ahead of the summer. The Blues are eager to strengthen their midfield and regard the Frenchman as a key target, as Real Madrid have defined their conditions to facilitate a potential departure.
Aurelien Tchouameni has had a silent but steady impact for Real Madrid ever since he joined the club from Monaco a few years ago. He was an established starter under former boss Carlo Ancelotti, which has also been the case under Xabi Alonso and now Alvaro Arbeloa.
His versatility as a defensive player is key to how Real Madrid play, with the defensive midfielder also featuring as a centre-back on multiple occasions. Tchouameni provides stability at the base of Madrid’s midfield and is widely considered one of the best in his position in world football.
However, there are persistent rumours of a departure from the Santiago Bernabeu, which is often the case with media speculation. Some previous reports have stated that Real Madrid may sell him to fund a move for Enzo Fernandez, for example, while other midfielders are also being linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Tchouameni has Chelsea’s interest in the pipeline, with the Londoners having a long-standing admiration of the 26-year-old Real Madrid star. The Blues want him as an addition to their already formidable midfield set-up, but there are challenges ahead, not only due to Real Madrid’s ability to keep hold of the 26-year-old but also because of competition, as the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham are also keen.
Real Madrid to sell Aurelien Tchouameni?
Real Madrid considers Tchouameni a key part of their squad, as the midfielder’s contract until 2028 makes it very difficult for clubs to sign him in the summer. The Spanish giants are somewhat open to the idea of a departure if their conditions are met.
Any departure for the 26-year-old Real Madrid star will require Tchouameni to formally hand in a transfer request, which he probably will not entertain. The second condition is that Real Madrid will not sell him within Spain, and only to a team outside the country, probably in the Premier League. Overall, it is a challenging situation for the likes of Chelsea, but they might make an attempt to see if there is a chance of a move for the Frenchman.
