Poyet handed him his senior debut in 2018 and since then the 22-year old has improved leaps and bounds. Real Madrid were able to fend off competition from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to secure Tchouameni’s signature, with Parc des Princes being considered a possible destination for the midfielder.
The player’s former coach Poyet has sided with him and has even taken a dig at Kylian Mbappe with his short and crisp statement. The Uruguayan appeared on the Cadena SER radio network of Spain and was asked if he thought Tchouameni made the right choice by moving to Real Madrid. Poyet answered:
So it’s quite clear that the Greek head coach believes that Mbappe continuing his stay at PSG and rejecting a move to Real Madrid in dramatic fashion was the wrong decision on the player’s part. Only time will tell whether the PSG forward made the right decision or not, but just like Poyet, Tchouameni also had no doubts about his next club.
Tchouameni mentions having a conversation with Mbappe before his Real Madrid mvoe
While addressing the press for the first time as a Los Blancos player, the 22-year old made it clear that he was delighted to earn a transfer to the 14-time Champions League winners. The French international said, via Mundo Deportivo:
He even mentioned having a conversation with Mbappe, who wanted Tchouameni to join him at PSG, but the midfielder had his mind set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are in a very strong position as far as their midfield is concerned with a great blend of experience and youth. It appears as if the 2022-23 season will be one of transition as the trio of Casemiro, Toni Kross and Luka Modric help the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Tchouameni and Fede Valverde settle together.
