Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, is facing a tough decision regarding the future of Aurélien Tchouaméni. Despite having placed significant trust in the young French midfielder, Pérez has not yet seen the return on that investment in terms of consistent on-field performance. Since his arrival from AS Monaco, Tchouaméni has failed to establish himself as a reliable replacement for Casemiro, who left for Manchester United. With time running out, the player’s future at the club appears uncertain.

Rising Competition from Camavinga and Interest from Liverpool

Tchouaméni’s situation at Real Madrid became even more complicated after Eduardo Camavinga's stellar performance as a defensive pivot in the team’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna. Camavinga, another French player, has proven himself capable of filling the critical role that Tchouaméni has struggled with. As a result, Tchouaméni now faces intense competition for his spot in the starting lineup. Amidst this growing pressure, Liverpool has reportedly shown serious interest in signing the midfielder. According to Football Insider, the Premier League club is considering a €70 million offer for Tchouaméni, hoping to bring him to Anfield.

However, Florentino Pérez remains firm on his stance. While acknowledging Tchouaméni’s potential, Pérez is unwilling to sell the player unless Liverpool raises the offer to at least €90 million. The Real Madrid president still believes the 24-year-old Frenchman has the qualities needed to succeed at the club, and he is not ready to give up on him just yet. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is also continuing to explore ways to integrate Tchouaméni into his tactical plans, though the midfielder's performance has not yet fully convinced the team’s supporters.

Tchouaméni’s Struggles and Fans’ Growing Frustration

Despite Pérez’s ongoing faith in Tchouaméni, the midfielder’s underwhelming performances have led to growing frustration among the Real Madrid fans. During the Champions League match against AC Milan, where Tchouaméni played as a pivot, he was widely criticized for his role in the team’s defeat. This, coupled with Camavinga’s recent success in the same position, has prompted many to question whether Tchouaméni will ever live up to expectations at the club.

Given the increasing competition from Camavinga and the doubts surrounding Tchouaméni’s future, both the fans and Ancelotti are not opposed to the idea of transferring the Frenchman to the Premier League. Such a move would allow Real Madrid to recover the €80 million investment made two years ago when Tchouaméni joined from Monaco.
