Fabrizio Romano breaks silence on Tchouameni to Man United transfer claim from "very good sources"

Manchester United have been linked with Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni , but Fabrizio Romano has played down the strength of the links for now.

The France international is a top player, so it’s logical that he’d be on Man Utd’s radar as they look for options in that position this summer, though it’s not currently clear that he’s one of their priorities.

That’s according to Romano in his latest post on his YouTube channel , with the Italian journalist saying there’s not currently any indication that Tchouameni will be leaving Real Madrid .

Romano has reiterated that United are in the market for a midfielder this summer, mentioning the likes of Sandro Tonali, but suggesting that Tchouameni doesn’t necessarily look like he’ll be on the move.

“Many questions in the last 24 hours on a report coming from England, from very good sources in England about Aurelien Tchouameni and Manchester United ,” Romano said.

“Guys, just to be clear, I told you United will go for two midfielders in the summer. Let’s see if it’s going to be more, but at the moment, the indication is two midfielders in the summer.

“And Manchester United want to sign important names, not small names. So, for sure, Man United are considering several midfielders.

“There are some players they really like. Tchouameni is for sure appreciated, but at the moment from Real Madrid , they are not receiving any indication of doors open about a potential exit in summer transfer window.

“So, at the moment, who doesn’t appreciate (Tchouameni)? But to even think about any possibility to get him, you need to understand what Real Madrid want to do. And at the moment from Real Madrid , there are no indications of club intention to get rid of Aurelien Tchouameni.”

Tchouameni has shone for Real Madrid and looks like someone who could be a decent fit for the demands of the Premier League, though he’s never played in England.

It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old will be available, but he certainly seems like someone who could strengthen this MUFC side.

Still, the club have perhaps also signalled their preference for signing Premier League-proven players as they did with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha last summer, and with Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali seeming to be top targets now.
