Manchester United willing to pay big for Real Madrid star | OneFootball

The midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni was unable to play in his side’s last game against Paraguay due to a physical issue, but still saw his French national team making its way to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after a 1-0 win. The Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal in this game, from the penalty spot.

While his World Cup campaign continues, the Frenchman has come under a lot of media spotlight owing to his uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu. His fight with Federico Valverde has raised some doubts in the club about him, despite him having played out one of his best campaigns on the pitch last season.

The Premier League giants Manchester United have been one of the sides linked with him, and according to Diario AS, the Red Devils are willing to pay quite a big transfer fee for the midfielder.

Keeping in view the inflated nature of the market and the Merengues’ valuation of the player, recent reports have indicated that they will not let Tchouameni leave for less than €100 million, and have already rejected an offer that fell below this mark.

However, Manchester United have a clear need for the midfielder in their team, because Casemiro is going to leave the Premier League side and join Inter Miami in MLS. Their first target to replace the Brazilian was Mateus Fernandes, but he has chosen Tottenham Hotspur over the Red Devils. Before that, they had also made inquiries about Anderson, for whom Manchester City paid a whooping €135 million a few days ago.

As things stand, Real Madrid and Manchester United are enjoying a good relationship, and initial contacts between them are expected to take place in the coming few days. After already having made some big-money sales, like those of Casemiro and Rafael Varane to the Red Devils, it remains to be seen whether the Merengues would get their desired amount for Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.
