In their bid to find solutions to rebalance Carlo Ancelotti’s team, Florentino Pérez and his associates are making bold moves. This Thursday, a completely unexpected announcement fell regarding an important member of Real Madrid who is reportedly on the list of players for sale.
Struggling in the early stages of this season, Real Madrid is on high alert. Unlike last summer, when the club’s management expressed full satisfaction with the existing squad, things have shifted in recent weeks. While Kylian Mbappé faces harsh criticism for his performance alongside Ferland Mendy, a third French player has joined the warning list. In its headline story today, the media outlet Relevo reports that Aurélien Tchouaméni has now become persona non grata with the club’s leadership.
Aurélien Tchouaméni put up for sale
At 24, the former AS Monaco player, who still has Carlo Ancelotti’s trust, is raising considerable doubts among Real Madrid’s executives. Disappointed by the current output of the player who joined in 2022, Florentino Pérez and other prominent figures at Real Madrid are open to a sale in the coming months. In deciding to put Aurélien Tchouaméni up for sale, the board of the “White House” has analysed the team’s tactical data and noted the deficiencies that have emerged with the player acquired for €80 million.
Brought in to replace Casemiro, the French international, who occasionally delivers strong performances, has struggled to take control of the midfield. Given this situation, selling him to pursue other targets is now the option Pérez is considering. For Tchouaméni, this is devastating news. Targeted by Liverpool, who plan to make another attempt next June, Aurélien could leave the Spanish capital if the offer satisfies Madrid’s board.
Camavinga to replace Tchouaméni?
For now, rather than bringing in a new player, Real Madrid is reportedly considering placing greater reliance on Eduardo Camavinga. Indeed, unlike Tchouaméni, who has not shown the desired performance levels in recent weeks according to Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical analysis, Camavinga has been making a very positive impact. Every time he takes the field, the former Rennes player has a noticeable impact on Real Madrid’s play, which is highly reassuring to the leadership.
With his growing confidence, Tchouaméni’s midfield colleague is seen as the player who can finally provide the much-needed balance in the centre. Additionally, Relevo reports that beyond selling Aurélien, Pérez’s other priority is to bring back Rodri, who has just claimed the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Linked to the club in recent months, the Spanish midfielder is viewed favourably as the one who could bring definitive composure to Ancelotti’s team. This story is far from over.
