Aurelién Tchouaméni's season at Real Madrid has been under heavy scrutiny due to his inconsistent performances and early struggles. His display against AC Milan drew particular criticism, as he was responsible for giving away the first two goals after two avoidable ball losses.

While his form has not met expectations, Tchouaméni's situation has been complicated by Real Madrid's needs, as he has been deployed as a central defender to cover absences in that area. Additionally, Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing the Frenchman, forcing Real Madrid to prepare for potential alternatives in the transfer market.

Several names have been considered as replacements for Tchouaméni at Real Madrid. The most notable is Rodri, the recent Ballon d'Or winner, who would likely command a long-term contract and a significant transfer fee. However, a more affordable option with promising potential is Martín Zubimendi, the man who often replaces Rodri in Spain's national team.

Zubimendi, a standout for Real Sociedad, has attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, but Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on him. His €60 million release clause makes him a relatively affordable option compared to other players on the market, and his style of play could be a strong fit for the team.
