Real Madrid and the Spanish press in general are regularly hanging on the future of Aurélien Tchouaméni, whose contract runs until 2028. The midfielder has regained credibility in recent months. He had finished the Carlo Ancelotti era more difficult, while he regularly helped out in central defense due to the large number of injuries in this position. This could have handicapped him in his progression curve but also in his benchmarks and his routine.
Xabi Alonso, then Alvaro Arbeloa placed him back in the midfield, in his natural position, where he feels most comfortable. They also benefited from a less congested infirmary at the hinge, and again, from a denser workforce in this sector of play especially. Even if the Merengues missed their season, the Frenchman was one of the few to survive in his personal performances. However, his future was not assured in a club ready to turn a big page this summer.
An extension approaching
José Mourinho has called for a change in midfield. Arda Güler is still young, Jude Bellingham is indisputable, like Federico Valverde, Bernardo Silva has just arrived, Thiago Pitarch will probably go down the hierarchy. If there must be a departure it is between Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouaméni. The first is often cited in the Premier League, a little at PSG too. The second, a starter at Real and the national team, in his prime, has a very high market value.
Manchester United has made it its priority in a gaming sector where the market is exploding this summer, like the transfers of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. Real even thought at one point of using him as a bargaining chip in the context of a transfer for Michael Olise. There will be none of that. Mourinho wants to keep him and make him a pillar, despite his altercation with Valverde. According to RMCthe former Monegasque will extend his contract until 2031 since an agreement has been reached with management. One less soap opera.
