Juventus lead race to sign Aurelien Tchouameni

Juventus are at the head of the queue to sign Monaco youngster Aurelien Tchouameni.

The 21-year-old midfielder has already featured on eight occasions for the Ligue 1 outfit at the start of the 2021-22 campaign.

Chelsea were strongly linked with the Frenchman over the summer, and it is believed that Thomas Tuchel’s side could reignite their interest in 2022.

However, according to Tuttosport, Juventus have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign Tchouameni, who is contracted to Monaco until 2024.

Tchouameni – also linked with Manchester United during the most recent transfer window – has netted four goals and made four assists in 53 appearances for the French outfit in all competitions.

Chelsea have already strengthened their midfield in the summer with the signing of Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid.
