A presentation is now set to be held for Tchouameni at Real Madrid, following a medical.

Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United as well as Paris Saint Germain were also interested in the midfielder, but Real Madrid ultimately won the race for his signature.

The deal will bring smiles to Real Madrid chiefs, having missed out on Kylian Mbappe this summer.

At Monaco, Tchouameni was at the heart of the first-team squad, and made 35 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring three goals from midfield and getting two assists.
