Man Utd officials ‘travel to Spain’ in order to wrap up £69m transfer for Arsenal target.
Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is back on Erik ten Hag’s wishlist at Man Utd as the summer transfer window ramps up, according to reports.
The Red Devils are apparently looking to add another midfielder to their squad this summer despite the imminent arrival of Mason Mount from Chelsea.
There are rumours that both Fred and Scott McTominay could leave the club this summer with the two midfielders dropping down the pecking order at Man Utd last term.
Tchouameni, who was linked to Man Utd before he ended up at Real Madrid, is back on their radar with Spanish publication Nacional claiming that the France international ‘will leave’ this summer.
After only 12 months at the Bernabeu, Tchouameni ‘aims to pack his bags’ after Man Utd have shown ‘a special willingness to welcome him into their ranks’.
Ten Hag thinks he’d be ‘an ideal candidate’ to slip into his midfield and the Man Utd boss has now ‘ordered various members of the board of directors to travel to the capital of Spain’.

It ‘involves meeting with Florentino Perez and other representatives of Madrid’ with the president of the La Liga club not willing to ‘settle for less than €80m (£69m)’.
Perez is adamant that if Man Utd don’t pay that fee then Tchouameni ‘will have to continue’ under Carlo Ancelotti and miss his opportunity to move to Old Trafford.
