Four years after his arrival, marked by significant triumphs including a Champions League title and a La Liga victory, Aurélien Tchouaméni’s future with Real Madrid appears uncertain. While both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to the midfielder, José Mourinho has reportedly taken a firm stance immediately upon his official appointment as coach.

Following his commitments with the France national team at the World Cup and his subsequent summer holidays, Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to return to Spain. A crucial question for the Casa Blanca in recent times has been whether the French international will embark on another season with Real Madrid, which would be the penultimate before his contract expires. Speculation regarding the midfielder’s future in the Spanish capital intensified after an incident involving Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde at Real Madrid‘s training complex in Valdebebas in mid-May.

Tchouaméni’s potential transfer to PSG or Manchester United gains momentum

Reports indicate that Paris Saint-Germain is a serious consideration for Aurélien Tchouaméni‘s entourage. His representatives are understood to have even offered his services to the French champions, who are actively seeking to reinforce their midfield. However, the interest isn’t limited to France. Manchester United is also reportedly keen on acquiring Tchouaméni to fill the void left by Casemiro‘s potential departure. Despite these swirling rumors, the recent presidential elections at Real Madrid appear to have significantly influenced the next steps in Aurélien Tchouaméni‘s career.

José Mourinho blocks Aurélien Tchouaméni’s exit

With Florentino Pérez successfully re-elected as president of Real Madrid, the club has officially confirmed an agreement with José Mourinho to take over the squad, succeeding Alvaro Arbeloa. The Special One makes his anticipated return to the Casa Blanca 13 years after his departure for Chelsea. The Portuguese manager has reportedly already established a clear stance on Tchouaméni‘s situation. Despite the ongoing buzz about the French international being a potential departure, it is understood that a transfer for Aurélien Tchouaméni is not on the table for discussion, a decision firmly supported by Mourinho.
