Tchouameni was bought for 80 million? He only managed to score 3 goals in Monaco, and he didn't score any goals in the real world, I think? I read that Liverpool wanted to buy him, but is it crazy to buy a player who does not score for such money?
It's a very strange policy for a club. For example Asensio. Real do not want to pay 6 million salary for Asensio, but they are ready to throw away 80 million for Tchouameni, even though Asensio scores even when substituting and now Assencio has signed a contract with PSG until 2027. By the way, PSG got such a player for free.
€80 million was deemed excessive for a player who has yet to make a name for himself in the football world. Aurélien Tchouameni is a young footballer with a lengthy career ahead of him. Despite his inabilities to score goals, he served crucial purposes for the club. He's sensitive, and while he's at his best in some games, he falls short in others. Carlo Ancelotti will give him more playing time next season to be able to test him in more difficult scenarios. One thing I appreciate about the player is his ability to attack opponents and build the strength to match up one on one with players.
Maybe Real Madrid has another perspective on why they wanted to buy Tchouamni at that price and of course Real Madrid always looks at players from a long-term perspective and because of that they have started to regenerate since a few seasons ago from various sides. Real Madrid are well aware of what they want from Tchouameni and with the cool hands of the coach slowly this player will also be able to develop.
Tchouameni is a box to box player and although he plays as a defensive midfielder, he often helps out in attack. Next season will be the busiest part of Real Madrid and it is certain that the new arrivals will start a new era at Los Blancos.
