Next summer, Real Madrid will experience important changes to its squad. One of them directly affects Aurelién Tchouaméni.
The emergence of Raúl Asencio has reduced the importance of Aurélien Tchouaméni in the Real Madrid squad. Dispensable as a center-back, Ancelotti believes he doesn't have the weight that a defensive pivot should have in the center of the field.
Real Madrid is Looking for a Way out for Tchouaméni
For that position, Ancelotti prefers Camavinga. Real Madrid is looking for a way out for Tchouaméni. They are looking to recover part of the 80 million plus variables that they paid for him to Monaco.
As a starter for the French national team, Tchouaméni has a good reputation in the Premier League. Real Madrid has proposed to Chelsea a swap deal with Enzo Fernández, the world champion with Argentina who triumphs at Stamford Bridge.
If Tchouaméni's contribution to Real Madrid is dispensable, it's become essential in turn to find a suitable replacement for Toni Kroos.
The absence of the German is creating more headaches for Ancelotti than he could've imagined. Real Madrid needs an architect in their squad who knows how to design collective play and move the team.
Ancelotti has set his sights on Enzo Fernández, Chelsea's Argentine midfielder. He is only 23 years old and was essential in Argentina's victory last World Cup.
A Profile Reminiscent of Toni Kroos
Real Madrid is reportedly interested in swapping Enzo Fernández for Tchouaméni. However, it'll be difficult to reach an agreement given that Enzo cost Chelsea 125 million euros a year ago. His contract runs until June 2032.
This season he's scored 3 goals and provided 6 assists for his teammates. This is a profile that Ancelotti likes and that is reminiscent of Toni Kroos. Real Madrid would offer Tchouaméni to reduce the cost of the operation.
For Ancelotti, it is a priority goal to balance the team, well ahead of the need for a center-back or a full-back. In fact, the arrival of Alphonso Davies and Alexander-Arnold at no cost is expected on June 30.
With the full-backs covered, the backbone of the defense would be covered by Rüdiger, Militão, Alaba and Asencio. The needs are in creating plays in the center of the field.
