Transfer News Roundup

Tchouaméni to Stay

According to AS, Real Madrid have no intention of selling Aurélien Tchouaméni in 2025. Despite a challenging season, with the French midfielder alternating between midfield and defensive roles due to injuries, he remains integral to Ancelotti’s plans.

Season Stats: Tchouaméni has made 19 appearances across all competitions this season.
Contract: The 24-year-old is tied to the club until 2028.

Madrid view Tchouaméni as a long-term asset, quashing rumors about his potential exit.

Interest in Alejandro Garnacho

Real Madrid are closely monitoring Alejandro Garnacho, according to Caught Offside. The Manchester United forward’s future has been uncertain following reduced playing time under manager Ruben Amorim.

Background: Garnacho was pivotal under former manager Erik ten Hag but has seen fewer starts this season.
Potential Deal: Reports suggest that another European club is preparing a loan offer with a £60m purchase option.

Madrid could act swiftly if Garnacho becomes available, adding the young Argentine to their forward options.

Rodrygo Going Nowhere

Contrary to speculation, AS reports that Real Madrid will not entertain offers for Rodrygo Goes.

Performance: Rodrygo has scored four goals and provided three assists in 19 matches this season.
Liverpool Interest: The Premier League side has reportedly shown interest in signing him in 2025.

However, Los Blancos consider Rodrygo central to their plans, despite competition from Kylian Mbappé and other attacking players.

Implications for Real Madrid

Tchouaméni’s retention underscores Madrid’s commitment to building a balanced and versatile squad.
Garnacho’s acquisition could add youthful energy and depth to the attack.
Rodrygo’s continued presence ensures stability in the forward line amid transfer speculation.

As Real Madrid aim to climb back to the top of La Liga, these transfer decisions highlight their long-term strategy for sustained success.
