Tchouameni: Blockbuster contract United can offer to Real Madrid star

The 6’2″ French behemoth’s athleticism and positional awareness make him a cheat code in transition. At Old Trafford, the 26-year-old would allow Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes the freedom to attack the final third with more ferocity.

Up until the start of this week, not many would have given United a chance of luring arguably Real Madrid’s best midfielder to the Premier League. However, that sentiment has changed.

According to Attacking Football journalist Paddy Keogh, the fighting issue between Tchouameni and Valverde “could turn out VERY good for Man United.”

It is claimed Real are open to cashing in on their midfield maestro for around £70 million and “it genuinely feels like it could happen.” But there is a pay-rise twist.

Manchester United can match Real Madrid’s contract offer

Keogh reveals that the France international initially joined Real on a contract worth £150k per week and he is now on about £200k a week.

Before the dramatic turn of events in the Spanish capital, it was believed the La Liga powerhouses offered him a £250k per week deal.

It is claimed United can match that “easily” for a player of Tchouameni‘s calibre.

However, INEOS would be reluctant to go over that as they have a strict £250k cap for elite signings. United had to offer north of £300k to both Raphael Varane and Casemiro to convince them to leave Madrid for Manchester.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United have made a “formative approach” to Tchouameni to gauge his potential interest.
