Real Madrid remains firmly committed to retaining midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni despite recent speculation about his future. According to journalist Miguel Serrano, the club has no plans to allow the French midfielder to depart this summer, particularly following his recent contract extension at the Santiago Bernabéu. Manchester United has been among the clubs monitoring the situation, yet the Spanish giants have made their position abundantly clear regarding their key midfielder’s availability.
The only scenario that could alter Real Madrid’s stance would involve an extraordinarily lucrative offer arriving for Tchouameni. Should a club present a proposal deemed impossible to refuse, the Merengues have already identified their contingency plan. Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has emerged as the preferred replacement option, positioning the English player as part of Real Madrid’s strategic backup arrangements rather than an active transfer target at this moment.
Real Madrid’s current midfield depth suggests that any replacement signing would create redundancy unless Tchouameni’s departure freed up necessary squad space. This reality underscores why Wharton exists merely as a hypothetical solution rather than an imminent acquisition. The club’s explicit position indicates they are not actively seeking to sell their midfielder or pursue his successor, with both developments remaining contingent upon an unlikely windfall offer materializing before the transfer window closes.
