The last match against Espanyol left more doubts than certainties. Real Madrid was defeated and didn't convince with its play. Throughout the match, there were moments of chaos, and the fans are still waiting for the team to maintain a consistency that hasn't arrived yet.
One of Carlo Ancelotti's biggest problems is the fragility in defense. The recent absence of Antonio Rüdiger has been a very hard blow for the backline. Without him, the options in the defensive line are limited, and the solutions Ancelotti himself has tried haven't yielded the expected results.
Antonio Rüdiger out, more problems for Carlo Ancelotti
Ancelotti continues to seek alternatives, but he has less and less room for maneuver. Defense isn't the only growing concern within the locker room, as in recent weeks there's been some discontent in the management. Patience is running out and Florentino Pérez already has a possible solution in mind.
Despite his talent, Florentino Pérez is clear that Aurélien Tchouaméni must leave Real Madrid. His performance hasn't convinced the fans, and Carlo Ancelotti's stubbornness in placing him as a center-back is the straw that breaks the camel's back. At Santiago Bernabéu, some sectors have shown their discontent with whistles, something unusual for a player who arrived with such high expectations.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, on the way out
Aurélien Tchouaméni's performance has been inconsistent and he hasn't managed to become the key piece that was expected. The management is beginning to consider his future, and on the horizon appears an unexpected opportunity. Liverpool remains very interested in signing him and could make an official offer in the coming months.
Liverpool has been after him for years. They already tried to sign him when he was still playing at Monaco, but Real Madrid got ahead in the race. Now, with a proposal of 50 million euros ($54 million) on the table, Florentino Pérez could make a drastic decision.
Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to lose his favorite
Despite the doubts in the management, Ancelotti still trusts him. For the Italian, Aurélien Tchouaméni is a player with enormous potential and he still believes he can explode. It won't be easy to convince Carlo Ancelotti to accept the offer, but the reality is that everything remains open.
Aurélien Tchouaméni's future remains hanging in the air. Liverpool doesn't lose hope of taking him, but Madrid hasn't made a definitive decision yet. The coming weeks will be key to determining his fate.
