Fabrizio Romano says Real Madrid want to keep Aurelien Tchouameni

Fabrizio Romano has said that Real Madrid do not want to sell Aurelien Tchouameni to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist said on his YouTube channel: “Many questions in the last 24 hours on a report coming from England, from very good sources in England, about Aurelien Tchouameni and Manchester United.

“Guys, just to be clear, I told you Man Utd will go for two midfielders in the summer.

“Let’s see if it’s going to be more, but at the moment, the indication is two midfielders in the summer.

“And Manchester United want to sign important players, not small names.

“So, for sure, Man Utd are considering several midfielders.

“Now, I told you already in February, March, it’s useless to come here every week and mention different names because Man Utd will decide on midfielders later on.

“There are some players they really appreciate. Elliot Anderson, I already mentioned to you, Sandro Tonali as well, so there are some players they really like.”

“Tchouameni is, for sure, appreciated, but at the moment, from Real Madrid, they are not receiving any indication of doors open about a potential exit in the summer transfer window.

“So, at the moment, who doesn’t appreciate Aurelien Tchouameni, but to even think about any possibility to get him, you need to understand what Real Madrid want to do.

“And, at the moment, from Real Madrid, there are no indications of club intention to get Aurelien Tchouameni.

“Then we will see which kind of players Manchester United want to bring in.

“For sure, Elliot Anderson is one of the names, but Manchester City are on it as well, so it’s going to be a big midfielders’ summer, but at the moment, that is the situation on Aurelien Tchouameni.”
