Man United Ready to Offer €80 Million for Aurelien Tchouameni

United are preparing a bid for the France international as they seek a defensive midfielder after Casemiro's exit and Manuel Ugarte's injury.

  • Manchester United have made an enquiry over a move for Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni, The Sun reports, viewing him as an ideal fit following Casemiro's exit and Manuel Ugarte's long-term injury.
  • Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho is reportedly willing to sanction Tchouameni's departure to finance a move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, while financial pressure from a nine-figure Yan Diomande transfer creates an exit opportunity.
  • Tchouameni's departure stems partly from a high-profile falling out with Federico Valverde that culminated in a physical fight at the training ground and saw Valverde hospitalised; reports suggest a bid of around £68m could tempt him away.
  • Tchouameni represents United's dream midfield target, though cheaper alternatives exist; Manu Kone, United's France teammate, is viewed as a more realistic option this summer, while Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba also remains on the wish-list.
  • Negotiations may accelerate as Manchester City prepares a Friday bid for Rodri, which could trigger Real Madrid's need for funds and free Tchouameni for departure; the £68m valuation positions him within United's spending capacity.
