Manchester United eye January move for Real Madrid midfielder

Manchester United eye January move for Real Madrid midfielder Although he has remained an important part of the team since his arrival at Real Madrid, the midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has also found himself being linked with a move away from the Merengue club at times. This was the case during the last summer transfer window, when the Premier League side Manchester United were reportedly keenly interested in him , even though he had renewed his contract with Los Blancos only a few months ago. Real Madrid themselves were looking for some departures from their team, but ultimately, the Frenchman ended up staying with Jose Mourinho’s side as the transfer window came to a close. Meanwhile, the Red Devils brought in Youri Tielemans, Carlos Baleba, and Andrey Santos to reinforce their midfield. However, Manchester United are still interested in the midfielder, and according to CaughtOffside , their hopes of landing the Frenchman have received a boost as Jose Mourinho is frustrated with his fitness issues, which can lead to him being put on the market in January. Despite the several players they brought in during the summer, Tchouameni would still be an upgrade over the midfield options Michael Carrick has at his disposal. However, Los Blancos are reportedly going to ask for around €100 million for their player, and it remains to be seen whether the Premier League side would be able to shell out such a sum for a position that is now not an area requiring urgent reinforcement. Meanwhile, it also remains to be seen what Aurelien Tchouameni’s plans for the future would be. So far, he has not been able to play for Mourinho because of his physical problems. Even though there is no doubt about his quality, he will have plenty of competition for a starting spot in the midfield, and other players who have played more often would naturally have an advantage over him.
