José Mourinho blocks Aurélien Tchouaméni’s departure from Real Madrid

Four years after arriving at Real Madrid and winning a Champions League and a La Liga title, Aurélien Tchouaméni may see his future away from the Spanish capital. Both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with the French international, but newly appointed coach José Mourinho has already made his stance clear.

Once the World Cup ends and his summer break is over, Aurélien Tchouaméni will return to Spain. Will the French midfielder commit to another season with Real Madrid, the penultimate year of his contract? That question has been a hot topic during the transfer window. Since the altercation between Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground in mid-May, the Frenchman’s future in Madrid has appeared uncertain.

Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly a potential destination considered by Tchouaméni’s inner circle. His representatives are said to have even offered his services to the double European champions, who are looking for midfield depth. But that’s not all. Manchester United are also keen to bring in Tchouaméni to replace Casemiro. However, Real Madrid’s presidential elections have seemingly shaped the next chapter for Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Florentino Pérez was re-elected as Real Madrid’s president. His agreement with José Mourinho to succeed Álvaro Arbeloa as team manager has now been made official. The Special One returns to the Spanish capital 13 years after leaving for Chelsea. The Portuguese coach has already taken a firm position on the Tchouaméni case. Under no circumstances is a transfer of Aurélien Tchouaméni up for discussion. Although the French international has been tipped as a potential departure, Mourinho does not share that view.
