Real Madrid have made a definitive decision to retain midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni for the upcoming season, according to multiple reports. The French international, 26, has been linked with a move to Manchester United, but the Spanish club considers him a key part of their long-term plans.
Sources indicate that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has informed the board that Tchouameni remains an important player in his squad. The club is not open to negotiations for the player, who joined from AS Monaco in 2022 for a reported fee of β¬80 million.
Manchester United had identified Tchouameni as a potential target to strengthen their midfield, but Real Madrid's stance has effectively ended any chance of a transfer this summer. The player himself has expressed contentment at the Bernabeu, where he has won multiple trophies including the Champions League.
