Tchouaméni’s future at Real Madrid after Bellingham signing

You might have seen one of those Instagram edits of Real Madrid’s midfield set for next season and wondered how Ancelotti will line the up, or those Twitter rumours of a Premier League club being linked with one of the 7. Well, let’s look at one; The French sensation Aurelien Tchouameni.

He is a 23-year-old, incredible defensive midfielder, who already has a very important role at his club and at the french national team too. He signed for Real Madrid in the summer of 2022. Before joining the spanish club, he played at Monaco and Bordeaux.
He was an important signing for Real, especially with Casemiro leaving.

During his first season, he played in all competitions with Madrid. He is still only 23 years old and it was his first season in Madrid, but per usual an okay season is not quite enough for the media.
His season started out well, then after the World Cup, something changed.

Obviously the players had to adapt to a lot of changes in schedule, they were overwhelmed and it was also mentally draining how they lost a final on penalties. All this pressure was unfair. But even after all this, he got his chances at the club and still played a very important role both in Madrid and in the national team. Could he leave Real soon and does Bellingham’s arrival complicate things for him?

With Bellingham’s arrival, and with Kroos, Modric and Ceballos’s renewal there will be seven top midfielders including him.

After only a season it is not likely he will leave especially because as far as we know he enjoys his time there. There are also no economical issues and his contract is until 2027. Obviously players will have to be at their best to earn their starting spots, but Tchouameni is a great professional and can improve on a daily basis. Especially now that he’s able to take time off to rest and process this season, he’ll definitely come back stronger and ready for a new season.

It is important to know that Real Madrid is a place where he is loved, where he can grow, learn and compete at the highest levels. He is definitely a key player for Real Madrid and will be next season.
