The former AS Monaco player was one of the hottest properties in the current transfer window before he was snapped up by Real.

Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool were some of the big European clubs in the race for the 22-year-old.

Tchouameni added that he is playing for the ‘best club’ in the world and that he will have to show his quality in training. Tchouameni was Madrid’s top priority after Kylian Mbappe rebuffed them by extending his stay at PSG.
