Aurelien Tchouaméni is one of the most sought-after emerging talents at the moment. The Monaco midfielder has been one of the great champions of the season in France and aims to be one of the next transfer market champions as well.
Although Real Madrid and Liverpool are the closest to signing him, others such as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Chelsea have also shown interest in the Frenchman, according to the British newspaper, Mirror.
For this reason, Paul Mitchell, sporting director of FC Monaco, spoke to Radio Monte Carlo about his future and confirmed that they would sell him, although he does not specify which team. He said, “The fate of Tchouaméni? Honestly, I don’t have any preferences. Like every time you sell a player, there should be fair compensation. The market is different every year.
“Everyone can see that Aurelien is a great player,” he added, but they also know that they are “an ambitious club with an ambitious owner.” Therefore, he “has no advantage when it comes to selling it”. What he makes clear is that they would be “too aggressive about a deal in exchange for losing such an incredibly talented player”.
As for the teams that have expressed interest in him, he understands that “the market is usually small, especially in that type of club.” Therefore, “it will be very difficult to replace it.” For Mitchell, “It’s important to keep building the team and not just focus on the people who make up it.”
And he concluded: “We have a very competitive playing style and it will be a sign of success for us to build the depth and quality of the whole team because we will also come out of the pre-season with matches that will continue until the middle of the season in September. That’s why I think replacing Aurelien at this time would be a complicated task.”
