The competition in midfield atReal Madridwill be more than ever during the 2023/24 season. With the arrival of Jude Bellingham for a record fee followed by Arda Guler’s acquisition, Carlo Ancelotti will have plenty of options to choose from, and thus comes the massive conundrum.
Amidst all this, it has been ɾєρօɾτed byMARCAthat a certain Aurelien Tchouameni still has the full confidence of his manager and the Italian believes that the former AS Monaco man will get back to his usual best.
The manager is of the idea that Tchouameni will recover after undergoing a dip in form during the second half of the previous season, that is, after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Tchouameni, 23, joinedReal Madridfor a fee ɾєρօɾτed to be around €80 million, rising up to €100 million if certain criteria are met. The French international started his Madrid tenure with a bang, but post FIFA World Cup, he lost his starting spot in Ancelotti’s lineup.
Now, despite the manager’s trust, it is not that the midfielder will return to the starting grid right away. On the contrary, he will have to earn his place especially now that there is increased competition in the team.
Fran Garcia’s acquisition means Eduardo Camavinga will no longer have to play as a makeshift left-back. This means Tchouameni will now have to battle for a solitary spot against his compatriot, as well as Toni Kroos, who was used as a pivot by Ancelotti in quite a few matches last term.
Meanwhile, Tchouameni’s unusual situation atReal Madridcertainly has not gone unnoticed as it is believed that several Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the player. As ɾєρօɾτed before, Tchouameni also hasadmirers within the Bayern Munich offices.
However, despite the interest, the Bavarians have not made any contact either with the player or withReal Madrid. In all Һօɴєȿτy, one cannot expect them to do that anyway as the player has no interest in leaving. Above all,Real Madrid are not at all interestedin doing business in the first place.
