Manchester United ready to splash over €100m on Tchouaméni — AS

Manchester United have identified Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni as one of their top summer transfer targets. According to AS, the Premier League giants are prepared to offer a nine-figure sum to bring the French international to Old Trafford as they look to revamp their midfield following Casemiro’s departure. But prising Tchouaméni away from the Santiago Bernabéu won’t be easy. Real Madrid value the 24-year-old highly and consider him a key part of their present and future. The player himself has repeatedly stated his desire to continue his career in the Spanish capital. Sources indicate Los Blancos have adopted a firm stance: any club wanting to sign one of their core players will have to trigger a valuation north of €100 million. United have previously missed out on Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes, but now they’re zeroing in on Tchouaméni as the primary candidate to anchor their midfield. The coming weeks could determine whether the Red Devils are willing to go all the way — and whether Real are even open to a conversation.
