The former Culer recommended Tchoumeni’s signing to Bar\u00e7a management<\/p>\n
Cesc F\u00e1bregas opened up in an interview with Fichajes.com about the signing of Tchouameni.<\/p>\n
The Catalan giants had considered signing the Frenchman before Madrid secured his services. The former Bar\u00e7a player praised Aur\u00e9lien and his quality as a player and recommended they sign him, but financial problems prevented them from doing so.<\/p>\n
“I spoke to Bar\u00e7a because they were looking for a replacement for Busquets, but they were short of money. I told them about Aur\u00e9lien. They wanted to prepare for the succession of Sergio Busquets and to me, he was the perfect player”.<\/p>\n
However, the critical financial situation of the club prevented him from joining. The offer could not exceed 40 million.<\/p>\n
So finally the player ended up wearing white, in an operation that would exceed 100 million euros including add-ons. He is now one of the most promising players in Deschamps’ national team.

Cesc also added that “Aur\u00e9lien has no limits, I quickly realised he was not a player like the others. The first time I saw him was against Bordeaux with Monaco. I was on the bench and I was impressed with his performance. They beat us and I remember asking one of our assistants: ‘but who is this midfielder?'”<\/p>\n
In addition, he also confessed that he has a close relationship with the Real Madrid player “we exchanged a lot of opinions, and he asked me for a lot of advice about his career”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
