The chances of Manchester United<\/a> signing Aurelien Tchouameni have increased hugely after Real Madrid completed a U-turn over his future, with three sources providing updates on the situation.<\/p>\n

Man Utd<\/a> see Tchouameni as their dream target to replace Casemiro in the No 6 role. The Red Devils have already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer and now want an elite midfielder such as Tchouameni<\/a> to complete the rebuild.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, United have been warned that Madrid will not sell the France star, and that he will actually pen a new contract at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

But the fact Jose Mourinho wants Madrid to sign Rodri from Manchester City has changed the picture entirely. The Sun\u2019s United correspondent, Samuel Luckhurst, reported on Friday that Los Blancos are \u2018willing to sell Tchouameni\u2019 for \u20ac80million (\u00a368m) to fund a move for Rodri.<\/p>\n

Madrid are \u2018prepared to cash in\u2019 on Tchouameni, even though a new contract has been \u2018verbally agreed\u2019.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0United reporter, Simon Stone, has also suggested Madrid are warming to the idea of selling the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u2018And it seems Real Madrid are willing to discuss Aurelien Tchouameni\u2019s situation amid claims they want to sign World Cup winner Rodri from Manchester City,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n

Although, Stone did note that \u2018Tchouameni\u2019s likely salary and potential transfer fee directly contradict United\u2019s aim of keeping control of budgets\u2019. That is because Michael Carrick is also searching for a new left winger and centre-forward.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Madrid will need to sell a big name to afford new arrivals, though he did not specifically name Tchouameni as the one to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cYan Diomande, Rodri, financially are completely separate topics for Real Madrid,\u201d the journalist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in order for these deals to happen, Real Madrid need fresh money, they need outgoings.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid \u2018need to generate money\u2019 \u2013 Fabrizio Romano<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example if they decide to bring in Rodri, they need to generate money. So we need to understand who could be on the way out of Real Madrid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vinicius Junior is another candidate to leave Madrid, as Arsenal are exploring a stunning transfer for the Brazilian superstar, according to David Ornstein.<\/p>\n

Returning to United, Tchouameni is on their midfield shortlist alongside Manu Kone (Roma), Carlos Baleba (Brighton), Sander Berge (Fulham) and Tyler Adams (Bournemouth).<\/p>\n

United have held \u2018concrete negotiations\u2019 with Kone\u2019s agents, as per Romano, though they have yet to open talks with Roma.<\/p>\n

Romano has also shut down claims that INEOS have begun talks for Botafogo midfielder Danilo, insisting it was actually the player\u2019s camp who made an approach to United.<\/p>\n

As things stand, Tchouameni, Kone and Baleba look the most likely players to move to Old Trafford and round off United\u2019s midfield revamp.<\/p>\n
