Four years after joining the ranks of the Casa Blanca, securing a Champions League title and a La Liga triumph, Aurélien Tchouaméni’s future at Real Madrid has become a focal point of transfer discussions. With both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly showing interest, a decisive statement has emerged from José Mourinho, who has just officially taken the helm as the club’s coach.
Following his commitments with the France national team at the World Cup and his subsequent summer break, Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to return to Spain. A significant question mark hangs over whether the French international will embark on another season with Real Madrid, which would be his penultimate before his contract expires. This has been a key point of speculation in the transfer market for the Casa Blanca recently. Since an incident involving Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde at Real Madrid’s training complex in Valdebebas in mid-May, the midfielder’s position in the Spanish capital has appeared increasingly precarious.

Reports indicated that Paris Saint-Germain was a destination being seriously considered by Aurélien Tchouaméni’s inner circle. His representatives were understood to have even offered his services to the two-time European champions, who are actively seeking to bolster their midfield. However, the interest wasn’t limited to France. It was also widely reported that Manchester United was keen on acquiring Tchouaméni to fill the void left by Casemiro’s departure. Nevertheless, the recent presidential elections at Real Madrid seem to have definitively shaped the next chapter in Aurélien Tchouaméni’s career.
José Mourinho firmly rejects any move for Aurélien Tchouaméni
Florentino Pérez has been successfully re-elected as the president of Real Madrid. Concurrently, his agreement with José Mourinho to succeed Alvaro Arbeloa at the helm of the squad has now been officially confirmed. The Special One marks his return to the Casa Blanca 13 years after his initial departure for Chelsea. The Portuguese tactician has reportedly already adopted an unequivocal stance regarding Tchouaméni’s situation. It has come to light in recent hours that a transfer for Aurélien Tchouaméni is simply not up for discussion. Despite earlier suggestions of the French international being a potential departure, this sentiment is not shared by Mourinho, who intends to keep him.
