Real Madrid Confidencial United puts $90M on the table for a key starter, it's not Rodrygo
Huge offer for a Real Madrid player, he is indisputable for Xabi Alonso
Real Madrid has several open fronts in the market that it's trying to solve these days. It's true that they prefer to focus on the Club World Cup, whose semifinals they will play this Wednesday. However, they are aware that it won't be easy, so they aren't losing sight of some deals.
Especially because there are teams like Manchester United that seem ready to go all in. They are preparing a €90 million ($90 million) offer for a Real Madrid regular starter and this time it's not Rodrygo. Instead, they've set their sights on Tchouaméni, who is on their radar.
Replacement for Casemiro
This isn't the first time the Red Devils have targeted Tchouaméni to strengthen their midfield. Aware that Casemiro is already 33 years old, they are looking for a possible replacement. They've seen a good opportunity in the Frenchman to find the ideal candidate.
However, it doesn't seem that Real Madrid will accept that €90 million ($90 million) offer they've received. Right now, he is an undisputed starter for Xabi Alonso and he doesn't want to lose his only holding midfielder. So Manchester United's attempt has very little chance of succeeding.
Tchouaméni has become key again with Xabi Alonso
Last season, Tchouaméni didn't get off to a good start, especially when he had to play as a center-back. He was even booed by Bernabéu, and it seemed his name would be on the market. Little by little, he turned the situation around and as a holding midfielder, he was one of the team's best players.
He is keeping up that level in the Club World Cup, and Xabi Alonso has known how to take advantage of it. In fact, with the Frenchman, he has been able to change the tactical setup even during matches.
Whether as a holding midfielder or positioned as a third center-back, we've seen Tchouaméni adapt to the moment. He is doing it at a high level, making it clear that he has stepped up in recent months. The doubts about his continuity have disappeared, and not even Manchester United's €90 million ($90 million) seem to threaten him.
