After four successful years at the Santiago Bernabéu, which saw him lift the Champions League trophy and secure a La Liga title, Aurélien Tchouaméni’s tenure with Real Madrid appeared to be nearing an end. With both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keen on his services, the midfielder’s future was a hot topic. However, the situation has taken a decisive turn following José Mourinho’s official appointment as head coach, as the Portuguese tactician has already made his position clear.
Upon concluding his international duties with the French national team at the World Cup and enjoying his summer break, Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to return to Spain. A pressing question has lingered around the Casa Blanca regarding whether the French international would commit to another season, the penultimate one before his contract expires. Speculation regarding Tchouaméni’s long-term presence in the Spanish capital intensified after an alleged confrontation between him and Federico Valverde at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training center in mid-May, casting a shadow over the midfielder’s future.

The Paris Saint-Germain camp reportedly considered Tchouaméni a viable target, with his representatives allegedly offering his capabilities to the French champions, who are seeking to bolster their midfield. Beyond the French capital, Manchester United also reportedly entered the fray, aiming to secure Tchouaméni’s signature as a potential replacement for Casemiro. However, the recent presidential elections at Real Madrid, and subsequent coaching changes, appear to have significantly impacted the trajectory of Aurélien Tchouaméni’s career.

With Florentino Pérez successfully re-elected as president of Real Madrid, the club wasted no time in formalizing the agreement reached with José Mourinho, who steps in to succeed Alvaro Arbeloa at the helm. The Special One marks his highly anticipated return to the Casa Blanca, 13 years after his departure for Chelsea. Mourinho has already adopted an unequivocal stance concerning Tchouaméni’s situation. Recent reports indicate that any discussion of a transfer for Aurélien Tchouaméni is simply not on the agenda. Despite persistent rumors linking the French international with an exit, Mourinho’s perspective is decidedly against any such move.
