Manchester United press
Last hour: Manchester United has broken into the signing market with a colossal offer of 90 million euros, subject to conditions, to take the services of Real Madrid midfielder, Aurélien Tchouaméni. This news has generated a stir in the European football environment, especially within the White Club, where the possibility of losing one of its key pieces has unleashed an immediate reaction. However, the response of the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, seems to have changed the course of events.
El interés del Manchester United por Tchouaméni no es ninguna sorpresa. The 24 -year -old Frenchman has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world since his arrival at Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, from As Monaco. With its imposing physical presence, tactical intelligence and ability to recover balls, Tchouaméni has become a fundamental pillar in the scheme of Carlo Ancelotti. His versatility to act as much as defensive pivot and in more advanced roles has made it indispensable in the center of the Madrid field.
The Manchester United offer, which could include variables that exceed 90 million euros, reflects the ambition of the English club for reinforcing its elite talent staff. However, the proposal has found a strong opposition by Xabi Alonso, the former Real Madrid player and current coach, who has publicly expressed his admiration for Tchouaméni. Alonso, known for his strategic vision of the game, considers the French midfielder as an extension of his football philosophy. “Tchouaméni is a player with exceptional tactical intelligence, capable of reading the game and executing decisions with millimeter precision. It is the type of footballer that any coach would like to have,” said Alonso, according to nearby sources.
Despite Alonso’s words, the last word in Real Madrid always has Florentino Pérez, and his response has been overwhelming. According to reports, the president of the White Club is not willing to leave Tchouaméni, whom he considers a key piece for the future of the team. Pérez, known for his ability to negotiate and maintain control in high pressure situations, would have planted the Manchester United offer, arguing that the value of Tchouaméni far exceeds the 90 million offered. “Aurélien is not for sale. He is a player who represents the values of Real Madrid and is destined to mark an era in the club,” Pérez would have declared, according to internal sources.
Pérez’s decision not only reinforces Real Madrid’s confidence in Tchouaméni, but also sends a clear message to other interested clubs: Real Madrid will not easily yield to his stars. However, the signing market is unpredictable, and the insistence of Manchester United could generate tensions in the coming weeks, especially if the English club decides to increase its offer.
For now, Tchouaméni remains focused on his recovery after the ankle injury suffered in November 2024, with the aim of returning to the pitch as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s fans breathe relieved to the firm position of their president, although the last word in this saga could still be to be written.
