Manchester United has resumed formal efforts to explore the signing of Aurélien Tchouaméni, a 26-year-old midfielder from Real Madrid, in this summer transfer market. It is one of Carrick's great desires to accompany Andrey Santos, Tielemans, and Mainoo in rotation.
The British entity maintains its interest in the French international despite reports of a renewal agreement in Spain, willing to put forward a proposal exceeding 100 million euros for the midfielder linked to the white club until June 2028.

Manchester United does not forget about Aurélien Tchouaméni
The Old Trafford board prioritizes the addition of a holding midfielder to replace Casemiro. As reported by journalist Samuel Luckhurst, the Manchester United leadership is not giving up on informal discussions, noting that the Spanish team has not yet made any public announcement about a contract extension.
On the other hand, the top brass of Real Madrid considers the Galician midfielder a defensive cornerstone within the squad's setup and has no intention of facilitating his transfer. The Chamartín offices would only consider assessing a negotiation if they receive an offer exceeding 100 million euros, an amount higher than the 80 million euros paid in his original transfer from AS Monaco in 2022.
Tchouaméni's contractual status and the absence of an offer on the table
Despite ongoing English monitoring, the operation currently lacks a formal written proposal to the board of directors of Real Madrid. The player has not expressed any desire to leave the Spanish capital and remains focused on securing a starting role for the 2026/2027 season.
The Madrid hierarchy believes the player's versatility is crucial for the coaching staff, as he has featured both in midfield and as a central defender in the last two campaigns. Speculations about new reinforcements in the creative zone have not swayed the midfielder's commitment to the Merengue squad.
The technical department of Manchester United will wait to see if Real Madrid finalizes the contract extension until 2031 in the upcoming weeks of July.
If the official announcement does not occur before the start of the preseason, Manchester United plans to submit a first written offer to attempt to unlock the Spanish club's stance.
