Tchouaméni does not wait any longer

The future of Aurélien Tchouaméni (22), Monaco’s French midfielder, is very close to being resolved. Despite the fact that in recent hours there had been speculation about the possibility that he could spend another year with his current team, sources close to the player assure this newspaper that the decision to change scenery this summer is absolutely made. It was the footballer himself who fueled these rumors with some ambiguous statements after his last great performance against Lille (he scored two goals and gave a lesson on the pitch).

“I think I have a contract until 2024. With an option until 2025. We’ll see what the future holds for me. Many things can happen during the transfer window. The most important thing is the Lille match, not what will happen afterwards. When everyone goes on vacation, we’ll see who will be there when everything resumes,” the young player told the press. However, His agent, Jonathan Kébé, the same one who takes Koundé, continues to accelerate the conversations to find the best accommodation for the footballer. Offers are not lacking.

Real Madrid has already done its share of the work with Tchouaméni, ensuring a preferential option on him. The player wants to wear white, but with the cards on the table, Monaco is the main obstaclesince it has set a starting price for the footballer who is around €70-80 million. Madrid will never reach that figure, which they consider more typical of a striker than a midfielder who still has so much to prove.

With everything, Madrid aspires to the player being able to force himself to lower that figure to 50 million. In that case, and depending on how the exits take place in the summer (it remains to be seen what will happen with Ceballos, for example, and if the club releases ballast with Jovic and Mariano), the operation for Tchouaméni would be more feasible.

Madrid competes with big clubs for taking over the services of this midfielder who, according to the data provided by the Olocip Artificial Intelligence platform in football, he is the pivot with the most impact in the Ligue1 game with a ratio of 9.64, well above the second, Danilo, from PSG, this one with 5.57. In addition to his good defensive skills (he plays in the role of Casemiro), he is extraordinary in construction, the fourth player in his league who generates the most value in construction. The ones that are doing the most to sign him are Chelsea and Liverpool. PSG too He has contacted his representative, but Tchouaméni, in principle, wants to leave France to try a new experience in the Spanish LaLiga or in the Premier League.

His last game against Lille proves Monaco right in their economic claims. The Monegasque club signed him from Bordeaux for 18 million euros in the summer of 2020. Now, the specialized website Transfermarkt gives it a market value of 40 million euros.
