Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has been officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player and the 22-year-old has explained his decision to join the La Liga and Champions League winners.
A number of top European clubs were linked with a move for the player this summer but his intention to move to Spain was clear. Liverpool were among those to identify Tchouameni as a target but the ECHO understands his representatives informed the club's recruitment of his desire to go to Real Madrid.
After completing his medical earlier this week, the French midfielder has finalised his £85million pound move to the Bernabeu and he says he 'didn't hesitate' once Real Madrid came calling.
