“He ended up being a target for Manchester United, but that doesn’t mean Tchouameni will go to Manchester United because he had a fight with Valverde.”
Romano confirmed his position on Tchouameni and Manchester United in June.
This was stated by an Italian journalist YouTube channel: “I told you guys, if you follow the channel here on YouTube, you are well aware that in April and May several times that in the event that Manchester United had the opportunity to select the ideal player to replace Casemiro, the name mentioned internally would probably be Aurélien Tchouameni.
“The ideal defensive midfielder, the best European experience, an elite player, so the interest was absolutely, absolutely confirmed.

“Firstly, Real Madrid have not yet opened the door for Tchouameni to leave, so this is a transfer from club to club.
“And then the salary, because Aurélien Tchouameni receives a very large salary at Real Madrid and for Manchester United to match that salary was not part of the plan.
“So, this is what I need to clarify about Chuameni, because there are new rumors, new stories about it.
“There is no doubt that Manchester United dreams and loves Aurelien Tshuameni.
“I can guarantee it.
“They value the player very much and think he is ideal, but at the same time, to be realistic in terms of the transfer fee, it depends on Real Madrid and Real Madrid will open the exit door again and then the salary, that’s the point.
“So this is the real situation of Aurélien Tchouameni.”
Earlier this week, Romano reiterated that Tchuameni would be a dream move to Manchester United.
Romano said in his YouTube channel: “Chuameni is a dream for Manchester United, they love this player.
“However, at the moment, the financial indicators of the transaction are still considered too high.
“Because it is not only about Real Madrid’s salary, but also about salary, his salary is considered too high.
“So the only way to open the door for Tchuameni at Manchester United after the absence of Mateus Fernandes is to negotiate a completely different salary.
“At the moment this is not happening.”
