The transfer of midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni from AS Monaco has taken a twist after it emerged that PSG are ready to outbid Real Madrid for the player.
The Frenchman was said to be on the verge of moving to Laliga with Marca saying Madrid had made him a top priority this summer but that deal is being jeopardized with what the French giants are offering.
According to the reports, PSG has raised their offer making it difficult for Real Madrid to push a deal over the finish line with Monaco set to decide which offer to accept this weekend.
Aurelién Tchouaméni and his agent have reached verbal agreement with Real Madrid last weekend, before the UCL final. His priority has been clear for weeks. ⚪️ #RealMadrid

While the player is said to be keen on a move to Madrid owing to their success in Europe, the money that PSG is offering is tempting with the same having had a massive influence on Kylian Mbappe snubbing the Laliga giants for a new deal in Paris.
Real Madrid has remained firm in stating they will not match PSG’s alleged bid of 100m euros, but the two French sides haven’t been able to complete a deal given that Tchouameni’s preference is to join Los Blancos.
