Manchester United eye summer move for Real Madrid midfield mainstay
The coming summer could prove to be an important one for Real Madrid, with many expecting the club to make some radical changes to the team.
While absolute star players such as Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. will continue to remain a critical part of the setup, there could be some high-profile departures.
Eduardo Camavinga is one player who has been linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu following his poor form and a horror show against Bayern Munich.
Now, his French compatriot Aurelien Tchouameni has an English giant interested in acquiring his services.
Man United eye move for Tchouameni
According to The Telegraph, Manchester United have emerged as a potential suitor for Tchouameni in the coming summer.
The Premier League giants, poised to return to the Champions League next season, are looking for midfield reinforcements, with Tchoaumeni emerging as one of the options.
The Red Devils are closely monitoring the situation of the Frenchman, who has not exactly been linked with a move elsewhere but could get caught in the crossfire if Real Madrid plan for a complete squad overhaul.
A few years ago, Man United roped in Casemiro from Real Madrid. But the Brazilian is now 34 and is set to leave at the end of the season. The club are in apparent need of fresh legs in the middle of the park. Tchouameni, to that end, fits the bill well.
However, the report clarifies that any Manchester United move for Tchouameni will hinge on Real Madrid and their pursuit of Rodri, the club’s top midfield target for the coming summer.

Arsenal in contact with Real Madrid forward’s camp over potential transfer – report
Doubts about Rodrygo Goes’ long-term future at Real Madrid having been growing for some time.
The Brazilian’s situation had become uncomfortable over the past couple of seasons as he experienced a sudden decline in form. And, just when it seemed like he was about to turn things around, an ACL injury ruled him out in March earlier this year.
With Rodrygo now facing an extended spell on the sidelines, his recovery will be crucial. He is expected to return in December or January, and the club will monitor how he responds physically before determining what role he will play under Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal keeping tabs on Rodrygo
Now, according to TEAMtalk (h/t Bernabeu Digital), Arsenal are in contact with Rodrygo’s representatives over a potential future move.
The report states that the Gunners had already attempted to sign the Brazilian before his injury, and their interest has now resurfaced ahead of a possible move in the summer of 2027.
The Premier League champions had also explored the possibility of signing Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid this past summer, before he signed a new long-term contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Now, their attention seems to have switched Vinicius’ fellow Brazilian forward who is closing in on his return from the ACL rupture.
Real Madrid want to keep Rodrygo until the summer
As already reported, Rodrygo will not leave Real Madrid in January. The intention is for the winger to regain full fitness and become available to Mourinho for the second half of the season.
Real Madrid are not considering selling the former Santos wonderkid during the January transfer window.
Instead, the club intend to reassess his situation next summer, once he has had the opportunity to recover and demonstrate his form on the pitch.
The plan is to have the Brazilian fit and available for the second half of the campaign before making a final decision at the end of the season.
Rodrygo’s performances after returning from injury, together with Mourinho’s assessment of his role in the squad, will help determine what happens next.
Depending on those factors, Real Madrid could consider allowing him to leave or decide that he still has an important future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
For now, Arsenal’s interest remains a possibility to watch, but Real Madrid are focused on Rodrygo’s recovery rather than negotiating a January departure.
