Real Madrid ready to sell star midfielder to Manchester United for the right fee despite renewal talks

Real Madrid ready to sell star midfielder to Manchester United for the right fee despite renewal talks Not too long ago, Aurelien Tchouameni was reportedly close to signing a contract extension at Real Madrid that would have sealed his long-term future at the club. There were widespread rumours that Tchouameni had already agreed a deal with Real Madrid, especially amid interest from Manchester United. But as it stands, Real Madrid have yet to officiate the deal while Man United have continued to push for the signing of the Frenchman.

The Spanish giants are ready to sell Tchouameni to Manchester United this summer, for the right price. This comes despite the fact that Jose Mourinho was keen on keeping hold of Tchouameni as part of his setup next season. But it seems Real Madrid are considering the prospect of selling the French international, knowing he has a strong market in the Premier League. Will it open door for other signings? Does Tchouameni still have a future at Real Madrid? (Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images) Tchouameni’s exit, though, could go a long way in boosting Real Madrid’s coffers, which in turn, could help them sign new players in the market. It is no secret that Real Madrid are keen on Michael Olise this summer, with Florentino Perez looking to make him the next ‘Galactico’ signing. But as far as a direct replacement is concerned, a move for Rodri could become viable if Real Madrid end up selling Tchouameni this summer. Mourinho has reportedly requested Perez to sign Rodri already, viewing him as the ideal bridge between the defence and the attack. In many ways, Rodri would be an upgrade over Tchouameni, who is usually slow linking up the play. That being said, Rodri is already in the final stage of his career whereas, Tchouameni, at 26, is still a long-term asset for the club. Therefore, Real Madrid are only expected to entertain a sale for the right price.
