Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Luka Modric. What a trio. The backbone of Real Madrid’s recent successes. The only trio that comes to mind that could parry these guys is Barcelona’s incredible Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets combo.But time waits for no one and Real Madrid need to think of the future and replacements for their trophy-laiden midfielders. Most of the refurbishing is done – Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga have settled perfectly and the final piece of the puzzle seems to be on its way.Fri 21:45: (1.75) France (3.60) Denmark (5.60)The Royal Club quickly shook off the Kylian-Mbappe-slap-on-the face, won the Champions League and have allegedly completed a massive deal. They are bringing in the young star of Monaco and France for 80 million euros on a five-year deal – Aurelien Tchouameni is coming to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Madrid and French media report that an agreement has been reached and that only small details remain before the transfer is sealed. Real Madrid started to show their interest in Tchouameni last summer already – in order to get in touch with the player this fall. At that time, Monaco asked for around 60 million euros in compensation. However, Tchouameni progressed at the speed of light and the price began to rise, and Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool joined the race.Isco’s goodbye to Madrid and a ‘poisonous dart’ toward Mbappe: No one should say NO to RealLast week, Real Madrid put their foot on the gas, offered and allegedly agreed on a five-year contract with Tchouameni, who had previously responded in the affirmative to a call from Anfield. PSG were persistent and tried to win another transfer battle with the Merengues, but the player insisted that he wanted to go outside France. Even Mbappe invited him to join him at Parc des Princes, but Tchouameni refused all invitations to move to Paris, and only Real or the Premier League came into consideration. In the end, the price was too high for the Reds but not for Los Blancos. Monaco should give the green light in the coming days for the transfer to take place.🚨 Aurélien Tchouaméni’s move to Real Madrid could be closed in a matter of days. Madrid are moving closer to Monaco’s asking price of €80m.

He is tactically versatile and is able to function in different formations – 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2… At Real Madrid, he should be the mainstay of the midfield for the next ten years alongside the before-mentioned Uruguayan Valverde and his compatriot Camavinga.
