Chelsea lead the race to sign in-demand Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni with the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid also in the fray.
A host of Europe’s biggest clubs are credited with a strong interest in the France international Tchouameni who has been an influential presence in the centre of the park for Monaco that has earned him rave reviews.
According to reports from the Spanish news outlet Marca, it is claimed that Chelsea could emerge as the frontrunner to land the 22-year-old maestro with the west Londoners touching base with his agent Jonathan Kebe.
Despite Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain keeping tabs on one of the top midfield talents in world football, Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to lure Tchouameni to the English capital in what is understood to be a mega-money deal.
Monaco are holding out to pocket at least €80 million for parting ways with Tchouameni in the summer of 2022 with the French side aware of the strong interest their midfield man is courting from his suitors in the transfer market.
