The name Aurélien Tchouaméni is well known to Sparta fans. The Monegasque midfielder scored a goal at Letná in the Champions League preliminary round and when he ran past the Sparta boiler, he was heard. Now he is headed to one of the most prestigious addresses in the world, Real Madrid.
The incident at Letná has damaged Sparta badly. UEFA has judged the whole situation as racism and closed Sparta’s stadium for the first Europa League match. Against Rangers, at least children got into the stands, but they are also being investigated by UEFA for racism against Glen Kamara.
But Tchouaméni was not upset by the boos at the time until the next matches. The Monaco defensive midfielder continues to perform brilliantly, even making it into the packed France national team.
And in the absence of Ngol Kanté, the 21-year-old midfielder even started in the starting line-up in the Nations League final against Spain, alongside Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann.
Moreover, Tchouaméni put in another great performance and it is no wonder that bigger teams are interested in him. In terms of brands, even the biggest in the world.
According to the Spanish daily Marca, Real Madrid are interested in the young Frenchman. The latter sees him as the perfect replacement for Casemiro as a defensive midfielder.
Tchouaméni would have no problems with integration at Real Madrid, as the French have traditionally had a large presence at the Santiago Bernabéu. Karim Benzema, a teammate from the national team, plays in attack, he would meet Eduardo Camavinga in the centre of midfield, while Ferland Mendy operates at left-back.
And Kylian Mbappé is yet to arrive, and he will also speak French with Courtois or Hazard, who are proficient in the language. He should acclimatise perfectly.
