Tchouameni close to €100m Real Madrid transfer despite late PSG bid for Monaco star

Real Madrid and Monaco are close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of Aurelien Tchouameni, GOAL can confirm.

The Spanish side hope to seal the arrival of the defensive midfielder in the next few hours.

Tchouameni had decided he wanted to join Madrid weeks ago, turning down interest from Liverpool and, latterly, Paris Saint-Germain.

After weeks of negotiations, Monaco and Madrid are close to reaching an agreement.

The Champions League winners will pay around €100 million (£85m/$107m) including signing bonuses for the 22-year-old.

There's no stopping that strike
