Manchester United has entered the race alongside Arsenal to sign Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, as both clubs vie for the French midfielder’s services.
Tchouameni considered one of the most talented young players in Europe, currently plays for one of the world’s biggest clubs. Despite this, Arsenal has expressed interest in acquiring him for their squad.
The Gunners view Tchouameni as a player who can significantly enhance their team and are prepared to make an ambitious move for him. However, the midfielder comes with a hefty price tag of £85 million.
While Arsenal is willing to spend big to secure Declan Rice, some fans may not consider the fee for Tchouameni as an obstacle. Nevertheless, according to a report from The Sun, Manchester United has also expressed interest in the Frenchman.
As part of their squad rebuilding efforts, the Red Devils believe Tchouameni could be their next exceptional signing from Real Madrid, following in the footsteps of Casemiro.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We and United are two top English clubs that can tempt the player, but spending that much on another midfielder does not make sense.
Before we add him to our group, we need to offload some players and we will need to sell about three to four players to raise that amount for Tchouameni.
Having him in our squad is exciting to think about, but now is not the right time to pull off the transfer.

Pie in the sky regarding Tchouameni if we or any other team in England could pull that off then I would sit down and STFU for the up coming season ,would be an absolute sensational signing if anyone could pull that off ,will not happen though as Madrid are building the foundations of the best midfield in world football and he is definitely part of it

Unless there really is a stumbling block agreeing the Rice deal and we’re hedging our bets by having a back up? Sounds silly I know but sillier things have happened!
We are linked with nearly every possible player right now. I can’t see this one materialising into anything past a rumour but who knows the future. Mbappe linked as well, I take it as a compliment of how far we have developed in media standing rather than credible moves. Maybe if we get £60m plus for partey in some crazy Saudi deal will we be paying out another £80m plus for a midfielder.
If Tchouameni is available we should pull all stops to sign him.
Arsenal should insist on favourable payment terms regarding the Rice deal. West Ham are obviously day dreaming with their demands. I don’t know what makes them feel Arsenal is in a weak position. It’s just a pity for the player if he has set his mind on making the move. There is always an alternative. With player sales and favourable payment plans we should be able to sign both players. But we will need to sell and loan players we don’t need this season for fees.
Second place finish and champions league qualification, arsenal have a little financial muscle that wasn’t there before.
Tchouameni will be a very good Partey replacement. We must sign him if his club is willing to sell. Regardless of what we have done so far in the market, if he is available we must sign him up to solidify the defensive side of our midfield.
Something tells me, Arsenal has atleast one more signing to make, apart from the trio of Rice, Timber and Havertz.
My take is a striker or another midfielder depending heavily on the likely departures still pending.
One interesting signing could be the Frenchman Tchouameni, he was brought in to replace Casemiro but now find himself struggling for game time at the cemetery of talents.
Camavinga seems to have move ahead in the pecking order, the recent acquisition of Bellingham will only further Tchouameni frustration.
Arsenal has already made inquiries about the kid, but an interesting loan agreement with an obligation or option to buy is worth exploring.
Arsenal should sign declan,and leave party to continue his career with Arsenal. The middle will be okay like that,the areas they are to still work on is defense! They sign timber keep kieran tieny for next season
He will surely be the perfect guy to replace partey(if he’s really going to leave the club)but i don’t believe he would want to leave madrid for arsenal.What i mean to say is that Real madrid have a big and better chance to win thier league and even UCL rather than Arsenal qt thia moment!(just my POV)
I doubt Real will want to sell him.
From the footballing angle, it makes little sense to lose such a young and talented midfielder when the likes of Kroos and Modric probably have only one more season at the club.
But if for financial reasons Real want to sell, I’d agree we go all out for him. I hear Xhaka may be fetching some 21m. If Partey can bring in something similar, that could give a good financial base for the deal. An Arsenal midfield anchored on Rice and the other young players in the squad would guarantee a solid midfield now and the immediate future.
Why y’all acting like partey is finished. Why y’all want to ship him to Saudi?
Has he quickly become that irrelevant that we can dispose of him?
I doubt ManU can afford him currently. Last i heard Ten Hag was given a measly £100m budget by the Glazers. The dsys of exhuberant spending by ManU is over unless the Sheikh will help them out.
Furthermore i doubt we are going to make anymore significant signings
If Touchemeni comes in and we offload Xhaka £21m, Pepe £15m, Lokonga £20m, Taveres £15m, Holding £12m, Soares £7m & Flo £40m (or Eddie £25m) then we will have more than enough to facilitate that move which may be about £85m to Madrid, possibly 2 installments also.
*£130m+ or so from those sales above.
If we look at the Rice deal is £100m plus add ons, that money is to be paid in 3 installments over the next 2years (£33.33m payments) means we are not blowing all our budget as its divided up over that time period.
£60m plus £5m add ons for Havertz is an outlay on our budget which is apparently £200m for this window. Finishing 2nd and UCL qualification gives us the funds to buy Kia & £40m Timber upfront.
Rice (1st) = £33.33m
Kia = £60m
Tim = £40m
Touch = £85m
*(2 paymnts £42.5m??)
– £130m in Sales
– £215m Spent (if pay all £85m)
All the new contracts also leaves us with a very strong squad.
Ramsdale -Turner
Timber – Tomi
Saliba – White
Gabriel – Kiwior
Teirney – Zink
Touchimeni – Partey
Rice – Jorginho – Elneny
Ødegaard – Havertz
Saka – Nelson
Jesus – Nketiah or Flo
Martinelli – Smithrowe
Marquinhos, Patino, Azeez, Cuffy and so many more youngsters need to sorted too.
It’s all affordable for Arsenal this summer and hats off to Edu for all the hard work he is doing to make these deals happen so early into the window and I am sure there will be another signing closer to the end of window like an attacker or if an injury occurs.
