Shock Transfer: Tchouaméni Sold to Bayern Munich Under Stunning Conditions
In one of the most unexpected twists of the transfer window, Real Madrid have officially sold Aurélien Tchouaméni to Bayern Munich — and for an unusually low price. The deal, personally overseen by Florentino Pérez and Bayern president Herbert Hainer, stunned fans and pundits alike.
But what really grabbed headlines were the three conditions Tchouaméni himself demanded before agreeing to the move — conditions that reportedly left both clubs surprised.
Sources close to the negotiations claim the French midfielder insisted on:
- Guaranteed Starting Role — Tchouaméni wanted assurances that he would not be rotated out of Bayern’s midfield, especially in Champions League knockout ties.
- Performance-Linked Bonuses — Instead of a huge salary package, he asked for lucrative add-ons tied to trophies, appearances, and goals, showing his confidence in delivering success.
- Special Release Clause — Perhaps the most shocking of all, the player demanded a clause allowing him to return to Spain within two years should he wish, leaving the door open for a possible Madrid comeback.
For Pérez, who sanctioned the unusually low transfer fee, the decision was reportedly about maintaining a strong relationship with Bayern while also respecting Tchouaméni’s wishes.
Fans, however, are still reeling. Selling a 24-year-old midfielder at the peak of his development for a cut-price deal seems out of character for Madrid — unless this is part of a longer-term strategy.
👉 One thing is certain: Tchouaméni’s switch to Bayern Munich is set to be one of the most debated transfers of the season, not only for the price tag but also for the shocking conditions that came with it.
