​France international midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, 26, has reached an agreement with Real Madrid over a contract extension, according to RMC Sport. The midfielder’s future in the Spanish capital had been in doubt amid speculation that Manchester United were keen to recruit him for their midfield rebuild. The Telegraph had earlier reported that the Bordeaux Academy graduate was a serious target for the Red Devils, though there remained some questions about a potential transfer fee. Those concerns now appear to be resolved as Tchouaméni commits his future to José Mourinho’s Real Madrid.
Tchouaméni arrived at Real Madrid in 2022 in a high-profile transfer from AS Monaco for a reported €100 million, signing a six-year deal. In Madrid, he will extend his stay alongside Real’s notable French contingent, which features Ferland Mendy, Ibrahima Konaté, Eduardo Camavinga, and Kylian Mbappé. The new Real Madrid contract is said to run until 2031, further anchoring Tchouaméni in Madrid’s long-term plans. The update underscores Real Madrid’s intent to maintain a strong French spine within the squad as they pursue continued success in both La Liga and European competition.
