Aurélien Tchouaméni is a new Real Madrid player. The French midfielder is officially a new player of the white club, a signing that the entity chaired by Florentino Perez has announced in its official media and that will be around one hundred million euros: 80 million fixed and 20 million in variables. The Frenchman thus becomes the fourth most expensive signing in the history of the Spanish club.
Eden Hazard leads this ranking, for whom Real Madrid paid 115 million euros in the summer of 2019. Despite being the most expensive transfer in the history of the white club, the Belgian has never come to meet the expectations that were generated with his arrival.
