MU wants to make a 'big signing' from Real Madrid.

Manchester United are reportedly pursuing an extremely bold transfer target, one capable of immediately changing the landscape of the midfield under manager Ruben Amorim.

MU surprisingly shows interest in Tchouameni.

According to sources from Defensa Central , Manchester United have placed Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid on their top priority list. If successful, this would be one of MU's most high-profile signings in many years.

In the summer of 2025, Manchester United spent £215.3 million to bring in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, Diego Leon, and Senne Lammens. However, they lacked a top-class defensive anchor in midfield. MU had targeted Carlos Baleba of Brighton, but the £100 million asking price quickly fell through. The Manchester club then turned their attention to Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, but the deal has yet to progress.

Now, Manchester United wants to solve a bigger problem: finding a successor to Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder seemed certain to leave Old Trafford, but his recent consistent form has led MU to want to keep him. However, they hope to renegotiate his salary from £350,000 per week down to around £130,000 per week, a figure that Casemiro will almost certainly reject. This opens up the possibility of him leaving sooner than expected.

That's why Tchouameni has become a key target. However, this is an extremely difficult deal. Real Madrid have no intention of selling their key player, especially since the French midfielder is becoming the driving force in the midfield under Xabi Alonso. Tchouameni has a contract until 2028 and Real want to extend it and increase his salary to keep him long-term.

Sources emphasize that Real will only let Tchouameni leave if he himself requests it. Currently, all parties want to continue their association. Manchester United's ambitions are clear, but luring one of La Liga's best midfielders away from the Bernabeu is an almost impossible task.
