Casemiro’s sale to Manchester United is imminent. The Brazilian will become one of the most important movements of the Red Devil team in this summer transfer market and will end his stage at the Santiago Bernabéu 7 years later. The end of an era in which he managed to win all possible titles and remain in the history of Real Madrid.
The departure of the Brazilian has generated an important debate about who will be his replacement in midfield, to the point that many think that Carlo Anclelotti will change his system to make room for a couple more names in the midfield area. The main one pointed out to occupy his role is Aurélien Tchouaméniwho arrived in the summer for a millionaire figure and with the poster on the forehead of the next midfielder of the merengue team.
Is Tchouaméni ready to replace Casemiro?
The Frenchman continues to generate doubts about occupying said role in a top-level club. Despite having a lot of talent and costing what he cost, he has not shown that he is prepared to be the defensive balance of Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, with what this means in great aspects. He has all the characteristics to be one of the best in the world in his position, but he needs a significant adaptation process both individually and collectively. And the team too, bearing in mind that Casemiro is a footballer who has grown within the environment that the team has today.
Real Madrid is a club that doesn’t wait for anyone. If Tchouaméni does not respond from the first minute, Carlo Ancelotti will look for solutions in other players and even in a change of system, bearing in mind that it seems difficult to find a footballer on the market who can take on the role of Casemiro from the initial whistle. It also depends on him that he can win a starting position in his first months as a merengue player.
Today, Tchouaméni is not ready to replace Casemiro (both due to age and profile), but there is no doubt that Ancelotti will use him in that role with the departure of the Brazilian and he himself will seek to show that he has the conditions to be one of the best in the world with less than 20 years.
