Manchester United have reportedly offered Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni a five-year contract, as revealed by AS journalist Jose Felix Diaz.

The Premier League giants are eager to reinforce their midfield and have identified the 26-year-old French international as a key target for Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are said to have presented Tchouameni with a ‘very good’ proposal and hope to reach an agreement on personal terms before entering formal discussions with Real Madrid.

However, it remains uncertain whether the France star would be willing to make the move to Manchester United, particularly after Jose Mourinho’s recent appointment as head coach at the La Liga club.

Tchouameni is currently representing France at the ongoing World Cup and is expected to make a decision about his future once the tournament concludes.

Manchester United recently missed out on Mateus Fernandes, who opted to join Tottenham Hotspur from West Ham United instead.

While the club continues to evaluate other midfield options, Tchouameni’s experience and proven quality make him one of their most appealing prospects.

Nevertheless, convincing Real Madrid to part ways with the Frenchman could be challenging, especially if Mourinho views him as a central figure in his plans for the upcoming season.

Tchouameni has been part of the Madrid setup for the last four years, during which he has won every major club trophy available in Spain. A potential switch to the Premier League may offer him a fresh challenge and new motivation.

Pairing Tchouameni with Kobbie Mainoo in midfield could provide a major boost for manager Michael Carrick as he continues to shape his squad.

Any potential transfer will likely be postponed until after the World Cup later this month. In the meantime, Manchester United are expected to keep close tabs on the Madrid star as they aim to finalise a deal.
