Real Madrid have completed the signing of Monaco starlet Aurelien Tchouameni for a fee in excess of £85million.
French international Tchouameni, 22, becomes Los Blancos’ second recruit of the summer after former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger penned a four-year deal last week.
Several clubs were reportedly in the race to sign the midfielder, including Champions League runners-up Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
But he opted for the European champions and has signed an initial six-year deal at the Bernabeu.
The deal is reported to be worth £68.3million plus a further £17million in add-ons.
Tchouameni racked up 50 appearances for Monaco in all competitions last term and is already regarded as one of world football’s brightest talents.
Alongside countryman Eduardo Camavinga, he will hope to establish himself as a leading light in the LaLiga giants’ engine room for years to come.
