Real Madrid exchange big star for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez

Aurelien Tchouameni joined Real Madrid for £85m from Monaco in the summer of 2022. The 24-year-old has made 102 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos.

Tchouameni was often absent due to injury last season. However, he still made 38 appearances and contributed to Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League double.

This season, Tchouameni has started 13 of 15 games in all competitions for Real Madrid, mainly as a defensive midfielder. There have been a few games where Tchouameni has had to play as a centre-back.

Although Tchouameni still plays regularly, Relevo reports that Real Madrid are ready to sell the player. Spanish newspaper Fichajes also reports that Real will use Tchouameni as a tool to negotiate the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. It is expected that Real Madrid will sell Tchouameni or exchange the player for Enzo Fernandez.

If Real Madrid want to sell Tchouameni, there are clubs willing to pay, including Man United and Liverpool. Chelsea were also interested in Tchouameni before he arrived at the Bernabeu, but it is unclear whether they will still want to recruit the French star in the near future.

Chelsea also have no intention of selling Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine has made 74 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea since his £107m move from Benfica in January 2023. He has contributed a total of seven goals and six assists for the Blues. However, Fernandez could leave as he has struggled to get playing time under manager Enzo Maresca.

Real Madrid leaders are ready to sell midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who is no longer in demand at Bernabeu.

Tchouameni’s form since the start of the season has not been good. In the last two important matches against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the French international was criticized for his poor performances.

In the Madrid Derby, Tchouameni started alongside Luka Modric in midfield. By the end of the match, it was Modric who was more willing to fight and defend from further away than his younger brother.

Following last week’s 4-0 defeat to Barcelona, ​​Tchouameni was substituted after an hour of disappointing play.

According to Revelo, Real Madrid are ready to make a move for Tchouameni, who they brought from Monaco for £85 million in the summer of 2022.

Coach Ancelotti still has faith in his student, although President Perez doubts Tchouameni is capable enough to shoulder the responsibility in Real Madrid’s midfield  .

This further fueled rumors that the Royal team will find a way to lure Rodri from Man City to Spain to play for Los Blancos.

Returning to Tchouameni’s case, he is expected to take on the role of anchor midfielder instead of Casemiro. In terms of positional and tactical sense, the 24-year-old player is rated higher than his compatriot Camavinga.

However, Tchouameni’s form has been inconsistent. Last season, he missed the Champions League final due to injury.
