Real Madrid turn down €100m offer from the Premier League for midfield general – report | OneFootball

Real Madrid have made their stance very clear on Aurelien Tchouameni.

In fact, according to reports from Fichajes, the club recently rejected a €100 million offer from Premier League side Newcastle United.

The Spanish giants have now set their asking price at over €200 million, leaving no doubt about how highly they value the French midfielder.

For the Real Madrid board, Tchouameni is not just another squad player. He is a vital part of Xabi Alonso’s new project, and the club will only consider selling him if an extraordinary offer arrives.

Sources within the club made it clear that the midfielder is “not for sale, not even for €200 million.”

Tchouameni’s rise under Alonso

The French midfielder has gone from being criticised last season to becoming one of the most reliable names on the team sheet.

His composure on the ball, reading of the game, and ability to bring balance to the midfield have earned him respect from both fans and teammates.

Statistically, Tchouameni has been among Madrid’s best performers. He ranked in the top three for ball recoveries per match and had one of the highest percentages of duels won across the squad.

These qualities make him almost irreplaceable in Alonso’s system, which relies heavily on midfield control and stability.

Newcastle’s failed attempt

Newcastle are looking to strengthen their squad with top-level talent. Their enquiry for Tchouameni shows their ambition to compete with Europe’s biggest clubs.

However, Real Madrid’s response was immediate and firm that the Frenchman is staying at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The former Monaco midfielder is now seen as a pillar for the future under Alonso. The club believes letting him go would be a huge mistake during this rebuilding phase.

With his age, quality, and influence on the pitch, Real Madrid view him as a long-term leader in midfield.
