Short, compact, clear
Expensive Kroos successor: According to information from “The Atheltic”, there is an oral agreement that only needs to be fixed in writing. The transfer fee should be around 100 million euros. In Real midfield, Tchouameni and his compatriot Eduardo Camavinga (19) are expected to inherit Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
National side pillar: Tchouameni had become a regular for Monaco over the past two seasons, having joined from Girondins Bordeaux. His outstanding performances in midfield saw him play his way into Didier Deschamps’ France national team despite strong competition from N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba.
