According to reports from Spanish publication AS, the continuous failures to land Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes have convinced the Old Trafford hierarchy to pursue a marquee signing. United directors believe Tchouameni is essential to restoring the club to its former domestic and continental dominance.
Real Madrid are expected to demand a minimum fee of 100 million Euros for the midfielder. Relations between the two European giants remain highly positive, built on years of mutual business including the recent transfer of Alvaro Carreras. United officials hope this diplomatic goodwill will facilitate formal negotiations in the coming days, though the deal represents a massive financial undertaking.
The transfer remains highly complicated due to the stance of the newly appointed Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho. Based on reports from transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Mourinho has no intention of sanctioning the sale of the Frenchman. Tchouameni stands as the only senior defensive midfielder in the current squad at the Santiago Bernabeu, making his departure a tactical risk.
Real Madrid have publically distanced themselves from Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez and acknowledge that Manchester City will not sell Rodri. With the Spanish giants focused on retaining their domestic and European titles next season, losing a vital asset like Tchouameni appears unlikely. While Liverpool also maintain interest in the French international, Mourinho's firm decision presents a formidable barrier to any summer move.
