Real Madrid presented their new signing Aurelien Tchouameni to the world today.
Tchouameni passed his final medical tests this morning before putting pen to paper.
“I am very happy to be here and begin my story with Real Madrid, the best club in the world,” Tchouameni said. “I am very happy and ready to work hard and continue winning titles for this club. I want to thank the president, my agent and my family for being here.”
Madrid signed the 22-year-old Frenchman from Monaco last week. He has signed a six-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu that will take him up until the summer of 2028.
He is an excellent signing. One of the most promising midfielders in European football, he fulfils Madrid’s emotional need for a big signing while also offering another option to their already-strong midfield. He has cost the Spanish club close to €100m.
Tchouameni completes a six-man depth chart in the engine room that will be the envy of the rest of the European elite – himself, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde and compatriot Eduardo Camavinga. A potent blend of experience and potential.
Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League last season but they are hungry for more.
