Manchester United’s search for a new midfielder continues to dominate the club’s summer transfer plans as Michael Carrick looks to strengthen one of the most important areas of his squad.
After missing out on both Mateus Fernandes, who joined Tottenham Hotspur, and Elliot Anderson, who completed a move to Manchester City, the Red Devils have been forced to explore alternative options.
Several names remain under consideration, but one player has consistently stood out as a dream target for those at Old Trafford.
Fresh reports from Spain have now added another intriguing twist to that pursuit.
According to journalist Sergio Valentin, via X, Real Madrid have accepted Premier League offers for both Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, although neither player has agreed to leave the Spanish giants.
The report states that both midfielders rejected the proposals after being offered contracts that matched their current salaries at the Santiago Bernabeu.
While the identities of the Premier League clubs involved were not disclosed, Manchester United are widely known to be among the clubs monitoring Tchouameni’s situation as they continue their search for midfield reinforcements.
Earlier this week, reports claimed United were preparing to put together a substantial financial package in an attempt to lure the France international to Old Trafford, with initial contact over a potential transfer expected in the coming days.
Despite valuing Aurelien Tchouameni highly and believing he still has significant potential, the Spanish club are reportedly prepared to sanction a sale if an offer exceeding €100 million arrives.
Valentin described the French midfielder as “the key player to sign in midfield,” underlining just how highly he is regarded despite Madrid’s openness to listening to exceptional proposals.
Tchouameni, whose contract runs until 2028, is currently away with France as they continue their pursuit for World Cup glory.
Although Tchouameni has rejected an approach for now, Real Madrid’s apparent willingness to accept bids suggests a transfer may not be completely off the table should another major offer arrive.
