Real Madrid 'join Manchester United, Chelsea in race for Aurelien Tchouameni'

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the list of clubs interested in Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The 21-year-old has caught eyes with his performances so far this term, drawing rumoured interest from some of Europe's top clubs, with Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly leading the way for his signature.

According to The Mirror, Spanish giants Real Madrid have now declared their interest in the Frenchman ahead of a possible move after the turn of the year, as Los Blancos reportedly look for long-term replacements for Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

Manchester United have been consistently linked with the Monaco man, given the uncertainty around the future of Paul Pogba, who is yet to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

Tchouameni has featured 20 times across league and continental action for the Principality outfit this season, taking his tally to 65 appearances for the club at the tender age of 21, while he has already earned six senior caps for the French national team.
