Real Madrid Snub Arsenal’s €75m Tchouameni Bid as French Midfielder Pledges Loyalty

Gunners’ ambitious approach for French star rejected despite summer spending spree, as focus shifts to trimming squad

Real Madrid have delivered a firm “no” to Arsenal’s surprise €75m (£65m) bid for Aurélien Tchouaméni, with the French midfielder making clear his desire to stay at the Bernabéu “until the end of his career,” according to Spanish outlet Defensa Central.

Arsenal’s Bold Move Rejected

The Gunners, fresh from completing six signings including Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi, tested Madrid’s resolve with a substantial offer for the 24-year-old. However, club officials swiftly dismissed the approach, with sources describing their response as “blunt”: “We’re not interested, thank you.”

Despite already reinforcing their midfield this summer, Mikel Arteta’s side appear determined to add elite talent, though their attention may now turn to outgoings. Arsenal insider Charles Watts revealed: “The squad looks bulky now… players like Fabio Vieira, Sambi Lokonga, and Reiss Nelson could be moved on.”

Title Talk Heats Up

The Gyökeres signing has sparked optimism around the Emirates, with former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg backing Arsenal for title glory: “Gyökeres is genius business. If Liverpool don’t land Isak, Arsenal look the strongest. Their squad depth is frightening now.”

What’s Next?

With Madrid shutting the door on Tchouaméni and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze still linked, Arsenal’s transfer team face crucial decisions. Will they push for another marquee signing, or focus on streamlining Arteta’s options?

One thing is certain: after their aggressive summer recruitment, the Gunners are sending a clear message – they’re coming for the Premier League crown.
