Chelsea appear to have reignited their interest in Aurelien Tchouameni, a year after Real Madrid hijacked a move to sign the midfielder. The 23-year-old faces a somewhat uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu following the arrival of Jude Bellingham, who became the second most expensive signing in the club's history.
Los Blancos secured the teenage sensation's signature last week as part of a deal which could rise to £115million. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are both expected to sign one-year extensions in the Spanish capital, while Dani Ceballos is said to be close to penning a three-year contract.
Carlo Ancelotti will be treated to a wealth of midfield options next season, with Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde also pushing for a place in the starting lineup. As a result, first-team minutes could be difficult to come by and Chelsea seem eager to capitalise on the uncertainty which hangs over Tchouameni's future.
