The bad news is confirmed for Aurélien Tchouameni. At 24, the French international is going through a bad patch and his third season in Spain is not going as planned. Criticized by the Spanish press since this summer, the Frenchman is more than ever called into question. Doubts which were reinforced according to today’s article Relevo.
Within the club, the French midfielder generates more doubts than certainties. The media even assures that the team’s latest tactical analyzes have made the staff extremely upset. Casa Blanca paid €80 million to recruit him in 2022 and expected the former Monegasque to be the new leader of the Merengue midfield. Today, Tchouameni is clearly not and no one has really been able to replace Casemiro. And even less Toni Kroos.
Real does not find itself there
Only Carlo Ancelotti would have confidence in him. The Madrid leaders who recruited him two years ago have reportedly changed their minds in recent months. Like others, Tchouameni disappointed a lot during the Clasico and Real Madrid are clearly in deep reflection. Concretely, Tchouameni generally produces copies which are acceptable, but clearly not up to the expectations of a club which has invested so much money. Unable to shine in the midfield, the interim captain of the Blues would now be considered “lost” to play troubleshooter on duty in defense. The Merengue staff would judge him incapable of plugging the holes and maintaining the balance of the team.
From then on, the situation has necessarily changed regarding its future. Today, Relevo assures that Real Madrid would bet more on Eduardo Camavinga. And that’s not all. While Tchouameni’s contract runs until 2028, Casa Blanca is now ready to listen to any offer for him, without wanting to sell him off. Will this 2024-2025 season be Aurélien Tchouameni’s last with the Merengues? Nothing is excluded, especially as the local media recalled that Real’s priority next summer is to repatriate the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Rodri. Which explains why Florentino Pérez got the message across that Madrid was not targeting the European champion in its criticism of the Ballon d’Or, but was mainly targeting France Football.
