Real Madrid next boss Jose Mourinho reaches decision on selling Man Utd ‘dream’ signing to INEOS | OneFootball

According to reports, incoming Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reached a decision on whether to sell Aurelien Tchouameni to Manchester United.

The Red Devils are looking to overhaul their midfield in this summer’s transfer window, and they have already struck a deal to sign Ederson Silva from Atalanta.

With Man Utd expected to make as many as three midfield signings this summer, they have been linked with a wide array of other targets.

This includes Real Madrid star Tchouameni, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently naming him as Man Utd’s “dream” midfield signing.

Romano explained: “Aurelien Tchouameni, if you ask me, who is going to be probably internally considered as a dream midfielder target for Manchester United.

“He is for sure a player they love. He’s a player they believe could be another Casemiro for Manchester United.

“Then, as I always mentioned, for Real Madrid, he’s a very important player.

“So at the moment, the doors of Real Madrid are still closed for Aurelien Tchouameni. He’s on a big salary, so it’s a really, really difficult deal, really complicated.”

Significant changes are also underway at Real Madrid, who have already struck deals to sign Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.

More incomings are expected, while they could balance the books with some big-money exits after Mourinho is officially appointed.

Now Florentino Perez has won the Real Madrid presidential race, it should now only be a matter of time before he is named Alvaro Arbeloa’s replacement and keeping Tchouameni is reportedly one of his first decisions.

A report from The Sun claims Mourinho’s ‘stance’ on Tchouameni is that he ‘wants’ to keep the midfielder beyond this summer.

Alternatively, Man Utd could sign Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali after it was reported over the weekend that they have moved ‘ahead’ of Arsenal and Man City in the race to sign him.
