Real Madrid: José Mourinho is counting on Aurélien Tchouaméni

Aurélien Tchouaméni is not expected to leave Real Madrid this summer. His coach, José Mourinho, has already made a strong decision regarding the French international midfielder.

Despite the heated altercation that occurred last May, French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde continue to enjoy the full confidence of Real Madrid's new manager, José Mourinho.

🚨 NEW: Jose Mourinho does NOT have any special plans with regard to the Aurelien Tchouaméni - Fede Valverde issue.

There will not be any special meeting, as the matter was discussed and settled last season.

According to information from AS, the Portuguese tactician even wants to make the two players his double pivot for the 2026-2027 season. While Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde have publicly stated that they've made peace, José Mourinho considers the incident closed and does not plan any special intervention.

🚨 JUST IN: Jose Mourinho is the one most interested in fully resolving the Aurelien Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde issue.

His plan is to play them in a pivot with the attacking quartet of Viní Jr., Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomande in-front of them. @diarioas pic.twitter.com/8CaZoXgVcS

Of course, this could change if new tensions arise.
