Manchester United Pursue Aurelien Tchouameni Despite Real Madrid Rejection
Manchester United have made inquiries about signing Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, despite reports that the French international has signed a new contract extending his stay at the Bernabeu until 2031. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder is a priority target for United, who are looking to replace Casemiro after his contract expired. However, new Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has no interest in selling Tchouameni, who is under contract until 2028. United have already strengthened their midfield this summer with Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, but view Tchouameni as a potential blockbuster signing. The club previously had the chance to sign him in 2021 when he was at Monaco but lacked the budget. Speculation about Real Madrid cashing in has increased following Spain's World Cup victory, with Rodri's performances fueling transfer rumors.
