At Real Madrid, Aurelien Tchouameni’s career has gotten off to an exciting start. The young Frenchman, who joined the team for around €80 million last summer, is now an important member of Real Madrid’s midfield group.
However, the midfielder was heavily linked with a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain before signing with Santiago Bernabeu.
Tchouameni disclosed his connections to PSG but also his intention to join Real Madrid in a recent interview.
PSG connections according to Aurelien Tchouameni
When asked about rumors tying him to PSG, Tchouameni said, “PSG? Honestly, I gave it some consideration. We want the French clubs to prosper because it’s a very large European club.
Tchouameni said, “But honestly, it’s hard to say no when Real Madrid calls you.
While playing for AS Monaco, the midfielder was rumored to be on the move to PSG.As part of their ambitions to strengthen the midfield group, Les Parisiens intended to recruit the young player.
However, Tchouameni ultimately decided to transfer to Real Madrid, which proved to be a wise choice on his part.
Career of Tchouameni at Real Madrid
In his first season with Real Madrid, Aurelien Tchouameni made a total of 50 competitive appearances.
Although Carlo Ancelotti’s system did not totally make the Frenchman a first-team regular, his importance to the squad is anticipated to rise over the next several years.
There is potential for Tchouameni to establish himself as a first-team fixture in the Real Madrid midfield in the years to come, particularly when Toni Kroos and Luka Modric depart at the conclusion of the current campaign.
The former AS Monaco sensation has already contributed significantly to the starting eleven so far this season, and that role will only grow as the campaign goes on.
