Matteo Moretto Colonna: Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Jonathan Tah and Real Madrid's transfer plans
Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest offers dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
What I can confirm is that Real Madrid are searching the market for options at center back. They tell me they are weighing up potentially making a signing in January, but they have to make the final call on that. However, there are many options, and what is certain is that at the end of next summer, Real Madrid will sign a central defender, this is a goal that they have marked.
I can't say yet whether it will be just one or not, but there will be a signature. As for Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah, who is out of contract next summer. As reported in Spain and Germany, Real Madrid are monitoring himalthough nothing has been decided. It has certainly attracted the attention of big clubs.
Several rumors have emerged about a potential return to Turkey for Arda Guler, and perhaps a loan deal back to his old club Fenerbahce, where he would be a starter. They came in the summer, and they have risen now, but nothing has changed, and he has absolutely no intention of leaving Real Madrid.
Since May, when Guler had started to play with some regularity, gaining the trust of the team and Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid decided that he would not go anywhere. The idea remains the same with Guler, and I have no confirmation that Fenerbahce has any chance to return Guler, since the player and the club want to continue.
Honestly what I think is that Aurelien Tchouameni is only thinking about Real Madrid, and he has nothing else in mind at the moment, he is not thinking of leaving. Maybe the rumors about Liverpool They emerged because they tried to sign him before he went to Real Madrid, and they were very interested in him, but I see no foundation in these rumours.
In addition, Tchouameni is fully integrated in the world of Real Madrid, and able to play different roles. I have not received any information that Los Blancos will allow him to leave. Tchouameni is a key part of the Real Madrid project, they are happy with him, and Carlo Ancelotti also sees him as key. During a season there are always ups and downs, but the criticism he received from the local press does not add to Real Madrid wanting to sell him.
Matteo Moretto will be back with more transfer news in the coming days, providing exclusive information on the biggest stories in Spain and Italy.
