Real Madrid has made the first hit for the 2022/23 edition, securing the services of a midfielder.

After months of lengthy talks, Los Blancos have secured the services of talented midfielder Aurelien Tchouamen.

The French midfielder had long reached a personal agreement with Los Blancos and only expected the two clubs to do so.

Media in France and Spain have reported that there is already an agreement between the two clubs for the transfer of the Frenchman to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid will pay 50 million euros to Monaco for the French star as well as another 15 million euros in the form of bonuses.

So the transfer of Tchouamen will cost Real Madrid a total of 65 million euros.

The 22-year-old has excelled in recent years with Monaco, while this year he has played 41 games where he has scored three goals and assisted in two others.
