Manchester United are considering making a €100 million move for Real Madrid defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.
Following their win over Chelsea last weekend, Manchester United are now almost certain to secure Champions League football for next season. The Red Devils have already started making plans for the upcoming summer transfer window, as they look to further bolster their squad.
The biggest challenge for Manchester United will be to identify an ideal replacement for Casemiro. According to a report from Fichajes, the Premier League giants have their eyes set on Aurelien Tchouameni. They are keen on bringing the Real Madrid mainstay to Old Trafford and are preparing a €100 million offer to get a deal over the line.
United would have loved to have Casemiro around for another season, given the kind of performances he has put in this season. However, the Brazilian international has already decided to part ways with the club when his contract runs out at the end of the season.
United want Tchouameni to replace Casemiro
It’s a massive blow for the Red Devils, who now need to bring a world-class defensive midfielder who can fill the void left by the former Real Madrid star. They are looking to once again knock on the doors of the Spanish club, as they consider Tchouameni the perfect replacement.
He has a strong physical presence and great defensive awareness. The French international won’t find it difficult to adjust to the demands of the Premier League, and since he is only 26, he could be a great acquisition for the short as well as the long run.
Normally, securing his services wouldn’t have been easy, but with Real Madrid looking to complete a major overhaul in midfield, United have a chance of bringing him to England. The Red Devils are preparing a €100 million proposal for the French star, whose contract runs until 2028.
Los Blancos are open to negotiations and will certainly consider such a big offer, as it will allow them to push for a few of their targets. In the end, the player will have the final say on where he wants to play his football next season. The opportunity to become the cornerstone of United’s new project could certainly be tempting for him.
