Real Madrid midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni is reportedly not thrilled with the idea of playing a centre-back role at the club.

According to those close to the French star, despite his versatility on the field, he would rather concentrate on his natural position in midfield than play defense.

Due to being asked to play a position that does not play to his strengths, Tchouameni has not shown his full potential this season, according to his representatives.

According to Madrid Universal, the Frenchman has a close bond with Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti which makes him eager to step up and play wherever the club needs him to. But his midfield position is still his top choice.

The difficulties Tchouameni encounters when playing out of position were brought to light by his recent performance against AC Milan. He had a difficult game and contributed to two of Milan’s three goals, which caused the Bernabeu crowd to jeer.

The young midfielder was under even more strain after the incident. And some people began to doubt his future with the team. Even though Tchouameni has been with Real Madrid for more than two years, he hasn’t solidified his position as a vital member of the squad.

The 24-year-old’s frequent use as a temporary centre-back, which happened ten times last season owing to injuries in the team, has contributed significantly to this concern.

Those close to the player make it apparent that he shouldn’t be held accountable for the team’s recent challenges..
