A stunning report claims Manchester United have offered \u20ac90m (\u20ac70m plus \u20ac20m in add-ons) for a Real Madrid star, and Florentino Perez has laughed off United\u2019s attempts to engineer a deal.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no secret Man Utd are in the market for multiple new central midfielders in 2026. TEAMtalk shed light on United\u2019s grand plans for their midfield rebuild earlier this week, with Casemiro almost certain to leave and Bruno Fernandes on the chopping block if a suitable offer is received.<\/p>\n
In truth, United require new faces even if the Portuguese captain stays. And according to a shock report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Man Utd have turned to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s claimed the Red Devils have offered \u20ac90m (\u20ac70m plus \u20ac20m in add-ons) for Aurelien Tchouameni.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid view the France international, 25, as an \u2018irreplaceable pillar\u2019 of their squad. Accordingly, it\u2019s stated the bid was rejected and Real supremo, Florentino Perez, \u2018refused to even open negotiations.\u2019<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s true to say Man Utd are seeking impactful additions in midfield, it\u2019s important to note Fichajes are infamous for their fanciful transfer stories.<\/p>\n
While United may well have an appreciation of Tchouameni, TEAMtalk understands they\u2019re looking much closer to home for their reinforcements\u2026<\/p>\n
Which midfielders Man Utd are ACTUALLY chasing<\/p>\n
Our insider, Fraser Fletcher, revealed United are ambitiously aiming to sign ALL THREE of Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton over the next two to three windows.<\/p>\n
Baleba is valued by Brighton at \u00a3100m and Fabrizio Romano as well as our own sources have confirmed the player\u2019s head has been turned.<\/p>\n
United made an official approach for Baleba last summer and the Cameroon international has grown more and more tempted by the idea of moving to Old Trafford with every month that\u2019s passed.<\/p>\n
United fully intend to bid for Baleba in one of the two windows in 2026. Agreeing personal terms won\u2019t be an issue, but settling on a fee Brighton deem satisfactory will be.<\/p>\n
Anderson and Wharton are expected to cost roughly \u00a3150m combined to sign. In the case of Wharton, competition is particularly fierce.<\/p>\n
