MARCA publishes the details of Ancelotti’s phone call that changed Tchouameni’s decision about his future

Today’s football coach is not just about training without more tasks. In many cases they become the image and spokesperson for the club at press conferences. Some of them even put on their shoes and tried to help close potential deals by approaching the players, presenting credentials and telling them what role they could play on the team. They do everything to make the signing of the player he wants successful.

Carlo Ancelotti did not delay in playing this role to try to speed up the negotiations, or at least soften them. In the case of Aurelien Tchouameni, the coach of the European champions picked up the phone and reached out to the Monaco midfielder. The French midfielder is in doubt as Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain emerge in the race to sign him.

The French international had his doubts. As he admitted to the Monaco players, he was not clear about the role he could play in Real Madrid in the presence of Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Casemiro and Camavinga in addition to Ceballos who, if the “Tchouameni deal” is closed, will leave the team without a doubt.

The coach made him see how important he is at current Real Madrid, how much he can contribute and the future he will have if he chooses to sign for the European champions. It is clear that Ancelotti did not promise him that he would be key, and that will only come from his work and the performance he showed in Monaco.

Klopp and Mbappe

It is not the only call received, because Klopp and Mbappe, as they indicated in France, called the phone of the Monaco player. Something Mbappe is repeating itself these days in the French national team camp.

Mbappe and Klopp tried to tip the scales on their part. After initial doubts, Ancelotti appears to have convinced Tchouameni that Real Madrid’s option is the best option.

Now it remains to reach an agreement between the clubs. And the player admitted, before joining the French national team camp, the possibility of closing his transfer deal between 70 and 80 million. We’ll see what happens after Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain make negotiations more expensive, although he admitted in the locker room that he does not see himself playing for the Parisian team.
