Real Madrid star ignites the dispute between Ancelotti and Perez

As Real Madrid prepares to face AC Milan in a crucial Champions League group-stage clash, the club’s internal struggles are becoming increasingly visible. The team, reeling from a recent Clasico defeat against Barcelona, is not in the best of spirits. Reports from the Spanish press indicate growing divisions within the squad and a tense atmosphere that hints at a challenging season ahead if unresolved issues persist.

One notable shift in focus is on French midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni, who joined Real Madrid in 2022 for a substantial 80 million euros. Initially viewed as a promising anchor for the midfield, Tchouameni’s recent performances have raised doubts about his future with the club. Spanish outlet *Relevo* has reported that Real Madrid officials are now willing to consider offers for Tchouameni, signaling a possible end to their once-solid confidence in the player.

Although head coach Carlo Ancelotti has maintained support for Tchouameni this season, others within the club are reportedly leaning toward a transfer. Real Madrid had hoped the 23-year-old would flourish as both a central midfielder and defensive asset, but his play this season has been inconsistent, raising questions about his adaptability and long-term fit.

The shift toward potentially selling Tchouameni is also influenced by the club’s preference for fellow Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga, who has increasingly won favor with Real Madrid’s board, led by Florentino Pérez. Camavinga’s growth and versatility in midfield have convinced many in the club to prioritize his development over Tchouameni’s.

Ancelotti’s tactical choices will be closely scrutinized in the upcoming fixture against AC Milan, as Real Madrid looks to stabilize amid this uncertainty. For Tchouameni, the coming weeks may determine his future at the club, with his performances likely under a microscope as Real Madrid seeks clarity in a turbulent season.
