Real Madrid are entering talks with AS Monaco midfielder Aurelin Tchouameni.

Real Madrid are intensifying their efforts to secure the signing of Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni for the 2022/23 season.

The 22-year-old has been on Los Blancos' radar for a long time, even before he became a France international under Didier Deschamps.

Miguel Queipo of SoyMadridista is reporting Real Madrid's chief scout Juni Calafat is understood to have flown to Monaco to hold discussions with Tchouameni's representatives and sound out the possibility of a deal.

Los Merengues boss Carlo Ancelotti has tried fellow France prodigy Eduardo Camavinga at the base of the midfield this term, but he and the club feel a specialist - like Tchouameni - is necessary.
