Decisive scorer during his 8th selection, Aurélien Tchouameni is courted by the biggest European clubs. The popular midfielder of the French team and AS Monaco does not ignite for all that.
Eighteen million euros. Purchased from the Girondins de Bordeaux by AS Monaco in January 2020, the 2000 generation defensive midfielder is undoubtedly the most intelligent acquisition of the Principality club since the flight of his talents as champions of France in 2017. Author of 87 matches under the colors of AS Monaco, Aurélien Tchouameni realizes, at only 22 years old, his second full season on the Rock. Called by Didier Deschamps for the first time in September 2021, the native of Rouen has since been unstoppable. And as we revealed to you a few days ago: he is turning the heads of the biggest teams on the Old Continent. What to see above?
At a press conference, in Clairefontaine, this Sunday, the decisive scorer of France-Côte d’Ivoire disputed Friday in Marseille was invited to discuss his future. Should Aurélien Tchouameni move to a top foreign club to hope to register for the long term in the French team? The main interested party refutes this idea. “It’s a discussion that I should perhaps have with the coach. You don’t necessarily have to play at Real Madrid or Manchester City to be selected. We see it with other players who are in very good clubs, like AS Monaco. Wissam (Ben Yedder) is in Monaco, he is regularly called up to the France team..
Real Madrid is warned, Monaco can breathe, Paris can try
Courtier declared, Real Madrid therefore knows what to expect. Especially since the particular partner of Paul Pogba has no intention of turning his back on his current club: AS Monaco. Where he is under contract until June 2024. “I don’t think that AS Monaco is an obstacle for me to continue playing in this selection. Today, I had the chance to have some selections and I am very well at AS Monaco. It’s not a question I’ve asked myself at the moment.” he continued, clearly displaying his loyalty to the princely club. Before mentioning, without detours, another club interested in his services: Paris Saint-Germain.
A Parisian formation which, like Chelsea or Liverpool, also interested, would have no trouble paying the 50 million euros claimed by the Monegasques. The player, for his part, seems to appreciate PSG. “It’s a top club, with very great players. They have made a lot of investments since the beginning of the Qatari era, they have objectives. Unfortunately, they haven’t won the Champions League yet but they have plenty of titles, great players. They want to go further, but they already have a great team,” he declared, conquered, in front of the par-terre of journalists present in the Yvelines. Faithful to his current club but laudatory towards the Parisian project, not obsessed with an adventure abroad, Aurélien Tchouameni calmly observes the agitation which surrounds him.
