Real Madrid are heading into the international break with more problems than solutions, with the club desperately requiring reinforcements in the defensive unit.
While the club are unlikely to make too many moves in January, there could be a major revamp in the summer, where multiple star players could run the risk of a departure.
In recent days, Aurelien Tchouameni has emerged as a shocking candidate to leave Real Madrid in the summer.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are ready to part ways with Tchouameni at the end of the season, as they look for a more organising midfielder.
This comes on the back of Tchouameni’s inconsistent performances, both in his natural role and in the central defensive position, where he has forced to play in light of the club’s injury crisis.

This has been particularly evident following the summer exit of Toni Kroos, as Tchouameni has struggled to make an imposing presence in the middle of the park.
Keeping that in mind, Real Madrid are ready to sell Tchouameni next summer. As a replacement, the club are looking for a midfielder who can organised the play better.
Tchouameni’s ongoing situation has not gone unnoticed, with several Premier League clubs interested in his services.
The report adds that Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all keeping tabs on Tchouameni’s situation and could take advantage of any prevailing market opportunity.
Real Madrid, though, are unlikely to sell the Frenchman on a cut price deal, having signed him for a fortune a few years ago.
