Arsenal have been told to forget about signing Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni amid rumours of a 2024 deal.

Real Madrid have completely shut down the idea of selling midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni to Arsenal.

That is according to a report from 90Min, who claim that Real are completely against the idea of losing Tchouameni.

All the attention around Real Madrid is focused on Jude Bellingham right now as he continues to shine in the Spanish capital.

Real do have other quality midfielders though, and one of them is Tchouameni, who joined from Monaco for around €100million (£85million).

Arsenal told to forget about signing Aurelien Tchouameni

Tchouameni is a hugely impressive midfielder and reports from Football Transfers last week suggested that Arsenal were eyeing a 2024 move.

It was stated that Arsenal had made Tchouameni their number one target for next summer, seemingly planning well in advance.

90Min now claim that Arsenal have made a first move by initiating contact with Real in the hope of teeing up a deal for Tchouameni.

However, Real have told Arsenal to forget about any deal, making it clear that the Frenchman is not available.

Liverpool were told the same over the summer and Real clearly have no intention of letting Tchouameni go.

My view: Tchouameni to Arsenal was always unlikely

Real landed Tchouameni knowing that he would become a vital player once Luka Modric and Toni Kroos either slowed down or moved on.

Kroos may well leave in 2024 and Tchouameni is already playing an important role this season.

Real would likely expect a profit on Tchouameni and Arsenal only recently splashed huge money on Declan Rice.

That deal just never really seemed lucky and Real are hardly going to be bullied around by Arsenal.

Arsenal may well look for another big midfield addition in 2024 but they will have to find another target with Tchouameni unavailable.
