Real Madrid ‘Make Decision in the Last Few Hours’ Over £65m Bid from Arsenal for Midfielder

 


Real Madrid have finally made a decision—one that sends a strong message to every top club in Europe, especially Arsenal, who believed they had the edge after launching a serious bid to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni.  


According to fresh reports from Spain, the decision was taken in the last few hours, and it changes everything. Just when Arsenal fans began dreaming of a midfield trio featuring Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Tchouaméni, Real Madrid pulled the plug, reaffirming their status as the kings of European football.  


### **Arsenal’s Bold Move & Madrid’s Ruthless Response**  

The saga began quietly, with whispers that Arsenal were preparing a bold move to test Madrid’s resolve. The Gunners had already signed Kepa Arrizabalaga (a temporary solution in goal), Martin Zubimendi (midfield reinforcement), and Christian Nørgaard (an underrated but powerful addition). They also brought in Noni Madueke for attacking flair, Cristhian Mosquera to bolster the defense, and Viktor Gyökeres up front.  


When news broke that Arsenal had submitted a bid for Tchouaméni, the football world took notice. Signing the French powerhouse would have been a game-changer. But Real Madrid are not a selling club—especially for players they see as part of their long-term future.  


Despite internal discussions about cashing in (after big-money moves for Kylian Mbappé and Alphonso Davies), Madrid’s final decision was clear: **Tchouaméni is not for sale**. Club sources confirmed the rejection was swift and firm—they have no interest in selling to Arsenal or any Champions League rival.  


### **Why Madrid Said No**  

Tchouaméni, though not always a guaranteed starter under Carlo Ancelotti, is viewed as a pillar of Madrid’s present and future. Florentino Pérez, known for his ruthlessness, shut down the rumors immediately. The Frenchman will stay and compete alongside Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, and Jude Bellingham.  


### **What This Means for Arsenal**  



The rejection forces Arsenal to rethink their midfield strategy. Finding a player of Tchouaméni’s quality, age, and profile won’t be easy. Alternatives like Benfica’s João Neves or a surprise Premier League target may emerge, but the Gunners must act fast.  


This saga also carries a symbolic message: while Arsenal are building a project to compete at the highest level, Real Madrid remain the ultimate authority in securing elite talent.  


Arsenal fans may be frustrated, but the club’s smart recruitment this summer—signing players who fit Mikel Arteta’s system—keeps optimism alive. Still, Madrid’s firm stance is a reminder of the gap they must bridge to truly challenge Europe’s elite.
