Chelsea Prepare Summer Approach for Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni
Reports describe Real Madrid as unwilling to sell unless the midfielder requests a move.
Overview
- Spanish and UK reports say Chelsea are lining up a summer move for Tchouaméni as they scope midfield reinforcements.
- Real Madrid are widely reported to view the France international as indispensable and would only consider a sale if he asks to leave.
- Chelsea are said to be readying a substantial contract offer to try to persuade the player to join.
- Tchouaméni, 26, is under contract until 2028, has experienced mixed form this season, and is valued at about £65m by Transfermarkt.
- The interest fits Liam Rosenior’s rebuild of Chelsea’s midfield and defensive core given injuries in the squad, with no formal bid or agreement confirmed.
