Real Madrid demand €200 million for Tchouaméni after Premier League interest
Real Madrid have made their stance crystal clear on Aurélien Tchouaméni: the French midfielder is not for sale unless an extraordinary bid arrives. According to Defensa Central, Los Blancos would only consider parting ways with him for €200 million (R$1.2 billion) after receiving approaches from the Premier League.
Untouchable in Xabi Alonso’s System
Since Xabi Alonso’s arrival, Tchouaméni has been indispensable. He has featured in all eight matches so far, totaling 715 minutes across midfield and defense. Beyond his physical contribution, the 25-year-old has become a tactical extension of Alonso on the pitch, organizing teammates and translating instructions from the bench.
This dual role makes him more than just a starter he’s viewed as one of Real Madrid’s most irreplaceable assets.
Why Real Madrid Set a Record Price
The €200M valuation isn’t just about Tchouaméni’s talent it reflects his importance to the club’s long-term project. Real Madrid consider him a cornerstone of the present and future, capable of leading a new generation while supporting the transition from veterans like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos.
For Premier League suitors, this means that any bid below this astronomical figure will be immediately rejected.
Contrast With Dani Ceballos’ Situation
While Tchouaméni’s status has never been stronger, Dani Ceballos finds himself on the opposite end. The midfielder rejected a move to Olympique de Marseille hoping for a return to Real Betis, but the Andalusian club has shifted focus.
Betis are now prioritizing a deal for Manchester United winger Antony, leaving Ceballos’ future uncertain.
