Real Madrid on Tuesday 14th June, 2022 unveiled Aurélien Tchouaméni as a new player for the club on a six-year deal. Madrid and Monaco reached an agreement for the transfer of the midfielder for a fee of 100m€ last week. Tchouaméni traveled to Spain to complete his medicals on Monday and was officially announced on Tuesday.
During the unveiling, Tchouaméni asserted that Madrid had been his longtime dream club, and when they came calling he could not say no to them. He further confirmed Paris Saint-Germain were also keen to sign him and even Kylian Mbappé spoke with him on several occasions trying to convince to join them but his priority was Madrid.
The unveiling was done at the City of Madrid and here is what club president Florentino Perez said: “We’re already thinking here about winning the Decimoquinta. That’s the big dream now for all of us who are united by this universal allegiance that is madridismo. We’re working intensely to achieve it and once again accomplish something that to many may appear to be impossible. We’ve got a great squad. Several of our players have achieved a new feat in the history of the game and after lifting five Champions League titles in the last eight years.”
On the potentials of Tchouaméni
“But today, we’re convinced that the player who is joining Real Madrid is one of those great players who will help us to continue to improve and make our club members and supporters even happier. Today we’re here to welcome a young player who is already one of the best midfielders in the world. I congratulate you because today you’re accomplishing your great dream of playing for Real Madrid. At just 22 years old, you had the opportunity to choose and you opted for this crest and shirt, with which we’ve lifted the European Cup 14 times.”
On the greatness of Madrid
“Today marks the start of a chapter in your life that you’ll be proud of. In a few minutes’ time, you’ll pull on the Real Madrid shirt for the first time. This shirt represents the biggest legacy in the history of the game and when you wear it, as well you know, we never give up. From now on, you’ll experience some unique feelings and moments that’ll stay with you for the rest of your life. In particular, you’ll feel a force that’s difficult to put into words, the force of the Santiago Bernabéu, where the madridistas will help you to understand everything that we have stood for, everything that we stand for and everything that we can become. You’ll have witnessed and been told about the magic that’s created within our stadium, but you will now get to discover for yourself why this club is the greatest in the world.”
Tchouaméni: “Real Madrid are the greatest club in the world”. The new madridista stated that Madrid is the greatest club in the world looking at what they have achieved over the years, and he believes he has made the right decision.
