Aurélien Tchouaméni has suffered from competition at Real Madrid and his plummeting playing time gives ideas to European leaders as the transfer window approaches, including in England where Chelsea are interested in him.
Only one year after his transfer to Real Madrid from AS Monaco for 80 million euros, is Aurélien Tchouaméni about to leave? A priori not, despite a game time in free fall during the second part of the season. Holder in the eyes of Carlo Ancelotti during the first months, reinforced in this role in the French team, Aurélien Tchouaméni suffered from competition from Camavinga, Kroos, Modric and Valverde at Real Madrid after the World Cup and was content with a status of substitute.

The club season is over and for Tchouaméni, the goal is to finish well with the Blues before going on vacation and coming back stronger than ever in the Spanish capital… or elsewhere. Because according to information from the Defensa Central site, the situation of the former Monegasque arouses the curiosity of several European leaders. His lack of playing time was particularly obvious to Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, who made the native of Rouen a priority for the summer transfer window of the Blues.
Chelsea offer 80 million euros for Tchouaméni
The Spanish media understands that the London club has already offered 80 million euros to Real Madrid to buy the remaining five years of contract from Aurélien Tchouaméni in the Spanish capital. For now, the player’s desire to leave or stay has not leaked. On the other hand, Real Madrid’s position is very clear: neither Florentino Pérez nor Carlo Ancelotti intend to part with the French international (22 caps). Despite his more difficult second half of the season, Tchouaméni remains a player of the future that Real Madrid are counting on for the coming seasons in a position where Modric and Kroos are close to the end of their careers. There is therefore no question for Real to sell the player from the French team, despite the surprising offensive carried out by Chelsea.
