Claude Makelele, the former French international, firmly believes that midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni will play a vital role in Jose Mourinho’s plans at Real Madrid. This endorsement comes as questions linger regarding the player’s long-term status at the club.
Tchouameni’s tenure in Madrid has faced uncertainty during the current transfer window, fueled by rumors of an exit following a publicized clash with teammate Federico Valverde. Despite these reports, there are indications that the 26-year-old has moved toward a contract extension.
Addressing the situation, Makelele emphasized to DAZN that Tchouameni stood out as the most dependable performer for Los Blancos throughout the previous campaign. Highlighting the manager’s tactical acumen, Makelele remarked that Mourinho is astute enough to recognize this value, asserting that the midfielder will be central to the team’s upcoming project.
