Club now considering whether to extend player’s contract after learning of fresh Man Utd interest

Real Madrid would reportedly consider extending Aurelien Tchouameni’s contract amid growing interest from Manchester United .

Should the European giants open the door for him to depart this summer, it’s expected they will demand in the region of £70 million, according to Ben Jacobs.

It’s also thought that Tchouameni’s exit could hinge on Madrid signing either Rodri or Enzo Fernandez , the latter of which has already hinted that he’d be open to a switch from Stamford Bridge to the Santiago Bernabeu.

As for United, they’ve set their sights on the Frenchman ahead of a major midfield overhaul at Old Trafford. Los Blancos will also be doing the same, hence the recent links.

The Red Devils have been tracking Tchouameni since he made a name for himself at AS Monaco . However, he rebuffed approaches from a host of Premier League suitors to make a move to the Spanish capital in 2022.

He put pen to paper on a six-year deal to run until June 2028, meaning both he and Madrid will now be considering where his future lies as he approaches the latter stages of his contract.

Of course, should a deal for Tchouameni prove unfeasible, United have plenty of alternatives on the shortlist.

It’s common knowledge now that Elliot Anderson is their first-choice, but the same can also be said for Manchester City, who do have the edge over their cross-city rivals in pursuit of the Nottingham Forest talisman.

Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, Joao Gomes and Sandro Tonali are all being considered by INEOS chiefs.
