Real Madrid want to keep Aurelien Tchouameni

Real Madrid do not want to sell Aurelien Tchouameni in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has also noted Manchester United’s interest in the France international midfielder.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “At the moment I have no information on Real Madrid opening doors to an exit for Aurelien Tchouameni.

“Man Utd want to add two top midfielders to the squad because Ugarte and Casemiro are leaving. So for United to add two midfielders is going to be important.

“Who doesn’t like Tchouameni? If you ask me, do Man Utd like Tchouameni? Who doesn’t like Tchouameni?

“He’s one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. [He’s] also helping with goal contributions at Real Madrid this season.

“Tchouameni is a fantastic player, and United absolutely believe it.

“But, at the moment, it all depends on Real Madrid. Real Madrid are not opening doors to an exit of Tchouameni.

“My understanding is that this story completely depends on Real Madrid.

“Tchouameni is very happy at Real Madrid, he is not desperate to leave. The situation is absolutely under control.”
