However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have won the race for the 22-year-old as they have come to an agreement over a €80 million fee, plus add-ons that could rise to a value of €100m. The Spanish side had identified Tchouaméni as one of their primary transfer targets for the summer and have now reinforced their midfield with his signing. It is understood that Paris Saint-Germain were ready to offer more than Madrid for the midfielder although the 22-year-old had already outlined his desire of joining the Spanish side.

Liverpool were also in the mix with Jurgen Klopp personally speaking to the star but like PSG, they left negotiations after the player conveyed his final decision to join Madrid. Talks between Madrid and Monaco were at the final stages and a final meeting on Monday had paved the way for the imminent transfer. It is understood that the French star has already agreed on personal terms with Madrid and will sign a deal that will keep him at the Spanish capital until 2027 with negotiations at its final stages for the player’s camp and Madrid.
