Selling Aurelien Tchoumeni Manchester United This is beneficial for Real Madrid this summer, as it will allow them to make a move for West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes.
central defense Cover comments from Cadena COPE reporter Ruben Martin. He has explained how it would be beneficial for the Spanish giants to sell the Frenchman this summer.
Manchester United's sale makes sense
Real Madrid are already busy making changes to their squad following the arrival of Jose Mourinho as their new manager. Several new signings are already on the doorstep, including Mark Cucurella and Bernardo Silva.
The latter is just part of a potential midfield overhaul. Due to this many players may be out and new players may come to take their place.
Aurelien Tchoumeni is one of those who could depart. Reports in Spain suggest the 26-year-old faces an uncertain future as Mourinho plans a second stint at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Reports have long linked him with a move to the Premier League, including this year. Sport Witness covered a report in April He went on to explain that Manchester United was one of the English suitors for him.
We then covered a second report in May explaining They will have to spend a good amount of money to get a midfielder. But according to Ruben Martin, the sale is actually beneficial for Real Madrid.
sell an ideal solution
According to him, selling the French midfielder would be the ideal solution for Mourinho to get the player he really wants, West Ham's Mateus Fernandes.
“What I'm saying is that if Real Madrid kept Tchoumeni and Manchester United signed Mateus Fernandes, then the player that Mourinho really wanted was Mateus Fernandes,” he said.
"So, if you don't sell Tchoumeni to United you are closing the door to yourself. If you sell him, you will recover some money and be able to sign the player that Mourinho wants."
According to fellow journalist Polly Rincón, Manchester United are not the only option in the Premier League, however.
He said, "Chouameni has a lot of options in the Premier League. But the real departure is Xabi Alonso going to Chelsea. Because, as you know, when Xabi Alonso was there, he was their loyal soldier."
If Enzo leaves Chelsea, it would be a good move, but the same happens at United because United want the same player that Mourinho wants, which is Mateus.
