The potential deal hinges on two crucial factors. Primarily, his current substantial salary at Real Madrid is a significant consideration.
Manchester United far from securing Real Madrid’s approval
Furthermore, Manchester United has already communicated to Aurélien Tchouaméni’s representatives that for any move to materialize, he would need to accept a revised salary package. The second critical condition remains Real Madrid’s stance. At present, Manchester United is nowhere near receiving the green light from Real Madrid.
