Manchester United have been made aware of how much it would cost to sign Aurelien Tchouameni.
With Paul Pogba likely to leave the club in the summer, the Red Devils will no doubt be in need of a new central midfielder.
Given their current options, it would make sense to target a proper defensive midfielder, and Tchouameni looks like the perfect option.
21-year-old Tchouameni currently plies his trade in Ligue 1 with AS Monaco.
Despite his tender years, the youngster now has over 80 Ligue 1 appearances under his belt, and has quickly become one of the division’s rising stars.
This was demonstrated well in 2020/21, when Tchouameni ranked joint-first for most tackles and interceptions made in Ligue 1.
The midfielder’s recent form would also see him called up to the France national team for the first time in his career at the back end of 2021.
And so far this term, Tchouameni is once again demonstrating his defensive dominance, ranking 1st in Ligue 1 for the most tackles and interceptions made with 160 (stats correct before Monaco’s clash with PSG).

So, how much would the midfielder set Manchester United back?
According to Goal, citing French outlet Foot Mercato, Monaco have set a €50m asking price for the youngster.
Given his age and ability, that seems like a reasonable fee for any potential suitor.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked in the past, but given the latter’s current ownership issues, perhaps United could now have the upper hand.
