Real Madrid is willing to authorize the sale of Aurelien Tchouaméni, a 26-year-old midfielder, to Manchester United for a figure close to 80 million euros this summer. The Real Madrid's transfer market has changed significantly with the goal of rebuilding its midfield.

The Concha Espina leadership is considering transferring the French midfielder, who has a contract until June 2028, with the primary objective of obtaining immediate liquidity to pursue the signing of Rodri from Manchester City.

Real Madrid Wants to Sell Tchouaméni

As reported by journalist Samuel Luckhurst in The Sun, Manchester United has resumed direct contacts with Aurelien Tchouaméni to assess his willingness to leave Spain. The English club, which previously fought for the midfielder's signing in the summer of 2022 before his transfer to Real Madrid from Monaco for 80 million euros, places the French international at the top of its sporting priorities.

Florentino Pérez's board has set the player's release clause at 80 million euros. Although the initial preference of the technical management was to offload Eduardo Camavinga, the need to finance Rodri's arrival has led Real Madrid to open the door to the transfer of their starting midfielder.

Rodri's Arrival and José Mourinho's Midfield Restructuring

The signing of Rodri, recently awarded the MVP of the 2026 World Cup after winning the title with the Spanish national team, represents José Mourinho's main request to organize the midfield. The Manchester City midfielder has expressed to his inner circle his intention to join the Spanish capital, leaving the final decision in the hands of the Madrid board.

The positional overlap between Rodri and Aurelien Tchouaméni makes it unfeasible for both players to coexist in the official rotation during the 2026/2027 season. With the prior signing of Bernardo Silva already completed for the midfield, the sale of the French international would finance the deal with the English club and complete the restructuring of the creation area.

Discussions between Real Madrid and the Old Trafford board will continue during the last week of July 2026.

Real Madrid will wait to formalize its final offer to Manchester City for Rodri before giving the final approval to the 80 million euros that Manchester United is preparing for Aurelien Tchouaméni.
