The Madrid based outlet have mentioned that for Real Madrid, the biggest obstacle is the fee. Monaco have set a starting asking price that is as high as 80 million euros (£68million).

The Ligue 1 side signed him for 18 million euros and as per Transfermarkt, he is valued at 40 million euros. The Los Blancos are hoping that Tchouameni will force his club to lower the asking price to 50 million euros.
