Reasonably reliable journalist James Ducker linking us with Tchouameni from Real Madrid.
Would be a very good Casemiro replacement.

Have been linked with him on and off for years now. Looked a real prospect before moving to Madrid, but haven't really followed his career since then.
21 Apr 2026 07:42:51
As long as Fabrizio doesn't say he could possibly, maybe, almost certainly might join us, there is a real chance.

Would be an outstanding player and we have looked at him on multiple occasions. A couple of thoughts, 1. Not sure Real Madrid are actually looking to sell him, and it is more likely Camavinga is sold. 2.
If Real Madrid are selling, why? There are not many players that leave unless there is a decline or issue. 3. If he did come, I imagine it will be on high wages £300k/wk, and this does not seem to fit the current model.

Real Madrid are interested in Rodri, tbf, so might be looking to sell to fund that move.
Agree with the sentiment that we should be sceptical of buying from Real, Bayern and Barca, because players tend to see them as the top of the mountain in terms of European clubs, but equally, if we are in the Champions League next season, we are going to need some experienced heads who know what it takes to get far in that competition, which Tchouameni has.
Considering the wages Casemiro was on, I don't think that will be an issue for our main midfield signing. It's not something we can afford to get wrong, tbh.

I think I read somewhere that Tchouameni had a falling out with the management, but not sure he's cut out for the EPL.
21 Apr 2026 19:13:49
I'd put him behind only Tonali as my ideal midfield signing for United.
I'd probably have Anderson in that mix somewhere, but he does seem destined to go there, if only going on the amount of journalists saying so.

He is very good. But it's pretty high risk, given the fee and contract. No doubting his quality, but the EPL is a different animal. The transition from La Liga to the EPL is not a given, despite his ability and record.
He does appear to have many of the right attributes for the EPL, I'd like to think he would excel.
However, I don't believe there is any truth in the story whatsoever.

Simon Stone linked him as well today.
22 Apr 2026 14:49:18
Simon Peach as well. Three reasonably reliable journalists who cover the club/region mainly for their day job.
Must have some truth to it.

He never hit the heights expected of him at Madrid. Good player, but not a great player. Not sure he would be worth the huge outlay, because of the risk attached to it.
