Aurélien Tchouaméni: a departure from Real Madrid after the World Cup?
The summer transfer window officially opened on Monday, June 15. Real Madrid used the occasion to announce the signing of Marc Cucurella, while awaiting Ibrahima Konaté among others. Meanwhile, on the departure front, Aurélien Tchouaméni could leave once the World Cup concludes, according to reports. Here are the details.
Tchouaméni offered to PSG?
What does the future hold for Aurélien Tchouaméni? Arriving at Real Madrid in the summer of 2022 from AS Monaco, the 26-year-old French international is only under contract until June 2028. This means the midfielder could spend the summer away from the Casa Blanca if the Merengue decision-makers receive a tempting transfer offer, avoiding the risk of having to sell the player at a reduced price down the line should a contract extension not be reached. Moreover, a new era is dawning at Real Madrid with the return of José Mourinho to the helm of the squad, 13 years after his departure. Marc Cucurella, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, and Bernardo Silva have already, or are close to, finalising full agreements with the club boasting 15 Champions League titles. Meanwhile, Tchouaméni and his representatives are reportedly testing the market, having offered the player’s services to PSG.
Tchouaméni’s future at Real Madrid uncertain?
The Aurélien Tchouaméni saga is likely to dominate Real Madrid’s transfer discussions in the coming weeks. While the Frenchman is fully focused on preparing for France’s opening match against Sénégal on Tuesday evening in the 2026 World Cup, reports suggest that the mere fact his contract expires in 2028 promises an exciting and intriguing summer ahead for both Tchouaméni’s camp and the Real Madrid board. The suspense remains total.
