Overview
- Manchester United, which reports on Tuesday linked to The Telegraph, placed Aurelien Tchouameni on their shortlist to succeed Casemiro with any move seen as dependent on Real Madrid signing a new midfielder such as Rodri.
- Fabrizio Romano said Wednesday that Real Madrid have given no sign they intend to sell Tchouameni, cooling expectations of a transfer.
- United plan to sign at least two midfielders this summer after deciding to part with Casemiro, with Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson admired but priced at about £100m.
- Eduardo Camavinga is also being linked to United and Arsenal by various outlets with differing fee claims, yet Spanish reporting says he wants to stay and no formal bid has been confirmed.
- A Real pursuit of Rodri could still force sales to raise cash, but that domino effect has not begun, leaving United’s push for a new No. 6 tied to moves Madrid have yet to make.
