The soap opera Tchouaméni is near its end. His case has been burning stages until reaching the goal. As AS has learned, the player’s agent, Jonathan Kebe, reached a preliminary agreement with Real Madrid a few days ago, although the years he will sign or his salary have not been revealed. It was at that moment when the white club set out to negotiate with Monaco. Then came the interference of PSG, which once again with checkbook in hand has stopped what seemed like a safe operation, this time, for the second signing of next season after Rüdiger.
Knowing the economic power of PSG and the lack of financial control in which it moves these days, the final resolution of the Tchouaméni case is unknown despite the agreement reached with Madrid. The white club trusts that the player will keep his word and that he will even force Monaco to lower its economic claims, which are currently out of the market. Ask for 80 million euros plus bonus and does not move from there. The white entity aspires not to disburse more than 50 or 60 more objectives. There is still a very big distance…
Either way, it is the player who has the floor. Before that principle of agreement reached in recent days, Madrid obtained the “yes” from the player in case the entity launched for him, an extreme that has ended up happening. That was months ago. That is why the last statements of the midfielder, known yesterday through Telefoot but made on Sunday, after the game that Tchouaméni played as a starter for France against Denmark (1-2): “My future? It doesn’t worry me, because it’s a position I’ve always wanted to be in. At the moment when the best clubs follow me, it means that I am doing things well”, he pointed out, later adding: “I have not made a decision yet”.
That “I haven’t made a decision yet” reminded the game that Mbappé starred in before surprising the world of football with his renewal. If Tchouaméni ended up at PSG it would be something really strange, because if something was leaking from his environment about his situation in recent months, it is that, although there was that interest from PSG, the player wanted to explore other leagues different from the French one. And that restricted the bid to Liverpool and Real Madrid. On the contrary, PSG seemed to be directing its steps towards Pogba, who ends his contract with United this season and is free.
With regard to Pogba, Sky Sport linked his name in the last hours to Real Madrid, which has no interest in hiring him, and yes in that of Tchouaméni, with whom he would take a very important step in that renovation that he is carrying out for the center of the field. Tchouaméni (22 years old), Valverde (23) and Camavinga (19), seem like a great guarantee for the future when the light goes out for the Holy Trinity (Casemiro, Modric and Kroos).
Every match that Tchouaméni plays raises his cache. In his last performance with France against Denmark he once again shone well above the rest. He started alongside Kanté (Pogba went to the bench), and every time this seems to be the option chosen by Deschamps. He did not disappoint. He ended up being the footballer who starred in the most actions on the field (111), was the one who completed the most passes (92, and hit 88), and the one who recovered the most balls (7), according to data provided by Opta.
Tchouaméni’s situation cannot be delayed much in time, among other things because it was the wish of the footballer, who is summoned to return to work with Monaco on the 18th. The Monegasque entity has to play the Champions League preview. Real Madrid trusts, therefore, that it is the player who will force his club to adjust his price to the market price, since in no case will he pay a premium for this last-minute move made by PSG.
