Aurélien Tchouaméni transfer: two reasons blocking his real madrid exit

Could Aurélien Tchouaméni be leaving Real Madrid this summer? The 26-year-old midfielder, currently representing France at the 2026 World Cup, has frequently been linked with a move away. However, two specific factors are reportedly stalling any potential transfer for the French international at this stage.

Since arriving in the summer of 2022, Aurélien Tchouaméni may see his spell at Real Madrid come to an end this summer. While he is competing in the 2026 World Cup with the France national team, the French international has been repeatedly mentioned as a potential departure in recent days. Manchester United is reportedly keeping a close eye on the 26-year-old midfielder’s situation. Yet two main obstacles are said to be preventing Aurélien Tchouaméni from joining the Red Devils.

“Real Madrid is not inclined to open the door for Tchouaméni”

“The two issues regarding Tchouaméni remain the same. The first is his salary. He earns a high wage, and that is not something Manchester United wants to take on at this point. Manchester United likes him and considers him a fantastic player. But for now, Real Madrid is not inclined to let him go. A phone call from Real Madrid to Manchester United saying he is for sale is not happening. But if that were to occur, Manchester United would be ready to try. However, there is a problem with the salary and the fact that Real Madrid has not yet opened the door,” a well-informed source shared.

Real Madrid focuses on reinforcements

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will eventually greenlight an exit for Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Madrid hierarchy is currently concentrating on bringing in new players for José Mourinho. After Marc Cucurella and Ibrahima Konaté, the Merengue are not expected to stop their shopping spree. A departure for Aurélien Tchouaméni is therefore not a priority at the Casa Blanca right now.
