Chelsea could be set to lose the key to signing long-term target Aurelien Tchouameni, following Real Madrid's latest stance in the transfer market. The west London side was heavily linked with the 22-year-old midfielder ahead of the season, but all that hard work looks to be in jeopardy.
Los Blancos have made Thomas Tuchel their number one choice to replace Carlo Ancelotti, according to Spanish newspaper Sport. The Italian, who has guided Real to a nine-point lead at the top of La Liga this season, faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu despite having enjoyed a strong season.
The report claims that president Florentino Perez has become growingly concerned with Ancelotti's style of play. Doubts over the 62-year-old's future have only been fuelled by Barcelona's recent four-goal demolition of Real Madrid.
