Real Madrid are closing on a deal for AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito.

Inda said, "Real Madrid's midfield is already beginning to show signs that a renovation is needed and they have made a move for the Monaco player Tchouaméni.

“Monaco has a serious problem due to the freezing of assets of Russian tycoons in Europe.

"Signing a player from Monaco is easier now than it was six months ago."
