Chelsea, PSG 'join Manchester United, Real Madrid in Aurelien Tchouameni race'

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly the two latest teams to show an interest in Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The 22-year-old was one of the first names on the teamsheet under Niko Kovac and now Philippe Clement, scoring three goals and setting up two more in 43 appearances this term.

Tchouameni's form has supposedly led to glances from both Real and Manchester United, who are believed to have identified the France international as an ideal replacement for Paul Pogba.

However, AS claims that Chelsea and PSG have now joined the race for Tchouameni's signature, with the Blues hopeful of striking a deal despite the uncertainty surrounding their ownership situation.

The report adds that Tchouameni has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid, though, while PSG's priority is still a deal for soon-to-be free agent Pogba.

Tchouameni's contract at the Stade Louis II is due to expire at the end of the 2023-24 season, and Real have supposedly identified Chelsea's N'Golo Kante as a possible alternative should they miss out on the former Bordeaux man.
