At Real Madrid, everyone is positive that a change is needed in the central midfield position. Tchouaméni hasn't responded as expected after the club invested around 100 million euros for him. The intention is to sell him to the highest bidder and replace him with a top-level player that Florentino Pérez already has his eye on.
The website Fichajes has discovered in the last few hours that Real Madrid is interested in the Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. He doesn't want to renew his contract with Milan and has attracted the attention of several big European teams. This of course includes the club presided over by Florentino Pérez.
Florentino Pérez followed Tijjani Reijnders closely during last match at Santiago Bernabéu and was amazed; he even scored. At 26, he aims to make the leap to a European giant and the option of Madrid seems very interesting to him. Milan is willing to negotiate, having laid the groundwork for a possible agreement of 60 million euros.
Not Just Tijjani Reijnders: the Other Midfielder That Tchouaméni Likes
El Chiringuito has discovered that Dário Essugo, standing out at the start of the season in Las Palmas, is very popular with Real Madrid. He is on loan to the island team until June 30. As a consequence, negotiations would have to be carried out with his team of origin: Sporting Lisbon.
Dário Essugo, 19, plays in the pivot position and is a player with a great touch on the ball. Florentino Pérez thinks he reminds him a lot of Toni Kroos and he doesn't want to lose track of him. The Portuguese midfielder is valued at less than 5 million euros. Now, if he continues to have a great season in Spain, his value will increase in the coming months.
Florentino Pérez will be keeping an eye on Dário Essugo's performance in Spain. He likes him a lot and will try to keep him if he keeps growing the way he's doing. He's a promising player with a great future and has aroused the interest of Real Madrid.
What is clear at Madrid is that a change is needed in the midfield and Tchouaméni is on the way out. There is still time to decide. Hoewever, the reality is that Tijjani Reijnders's name is liked and on the final list. The president and the coach will have the final say.
