But Madrid have not yet closed a deal for Tchouameni with Monaco – and there are two other major clubs who want to sign the 22-year-old.

WHO ARE THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS IN THE WORLD?

Liverpool are looking for a top central midfielder this summer, while PSG are also hoping to bring in a top-class player in the centre of the pitch.

Tchouameni was asked on Sunday for his reaction to the interest in him.

What did Tchouameni say?

"I'm not troubled by that (the rumours), because it's a position I've always wanted to be in,” Tchouameni told TeleFoot.

“As long as I'm followed by the top clubs, that means I'm doing good things."

Tchouameni was then asked whether he had decided which club he will join, to which he replied, “not yet”.
