In spite of that in the Real Madrid still has not had the regularity expected, Aurélien Tchouaméni is by level and potential one of the best defensive midfield players of the world. The French landed in the 'White House' by some 80 million euros in 2022 like a bet of present and future of the merengues. It was a lot of money by a mediocentro that still had not played the Champions, but in the Bernabéu trust that sooner that late it show that it costs each euro that paid by him.
In the meantime, in the FC Barcelona are looking for desperately a pivote that fill the empty that left Sergio Busquets with his exit the past summer. Oriol Romeu has resulted to be a 'patch' that has not worked and Xavi Hernández and the own club want to somebody more for January or as late in summer. What anybody knew up to now is that this mediocentro could have been the own Tchouaméni.
The father of Bojan Krkic, called and called the same, has recognised in 'Sportive Carousel' that when the Frenchman played in the Girondins of Burdeos, before leaving to the Monaco, he same desestimó his arrival to the Camp Nou. "When it worked in the Barça did a negative report of Tchouaméni. He was pure power. It played then in the Bordeux and saw it in three parties. I saw it against the Monaco, against the PSG and against the Marseilles because players that have to come to a big it is necessary to see them in important parties of the league", began saying.
The reason by which Bojan said "no" to Tchouaméni
By that then, Krkic Sr was observer of the Barça and devoted basically to be followed young promises and recommend them or desacnsejar his signings, according to his criterion. In the case of Aurélien, left clear that did not like him a very concrete appearance of his game by that then. "I stood out good things, but what do not like me of him, what did not convince me, is his skill in space reduced. In the Bordeux have a lot of space by in front, salts in counterattack, do not tighten you so much. In the Barça and the Madrid all the world puts a midfield player more in midfield and have to have this skill of mental speed: think, decide and execute fast and did not see this in him", stood out.
The true is that years afterwards surprises the assessment of the father of Bojan, since, although it is not a Busquets or a Rodri Hernández, Tchouaméni has showed to be so much in the Madrid, as in the French selection, a mediocentro very endowed technically. The Frenchman, in addition to being a superdotado physical, has quality to have the ball, play fast and not to put nervous to hold the possession in front of intense pressures or in spaces reduced.
The time says that it was an error refuse to Tchouaméni
In spite of that over time all sees much easier, the feeling is that this report was an error and that if the culés had launched by his signing being still in the Girondins, had attained a mediocentro 'top' for his future to very good price. The transition between 'Busi' and he would have been simpler and can that the level of the Barcelona right now would be another with Aurélien of pivote after Frenkie of Jong, Ilkay Gündon or Pedri.
