You can congratulate. Real Madrid announced today (Saturday) its second acquisition of the summer: Orleans Choumani has agreed to the European champions for the next six seasons and will move to it from Monaco, for an amount that is reported to reach 100 million euros after bonuses.
The 22-year-old full-back, who joined Antonio Rodiger on the list of reinforcements for Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the current Hebrew window, will expand the French colony in the Blancos squad, which also includes Eduardo Camavinga and Perlan Mandy. Gradually and not in the immediate term.
Chuamani’s official signing ceremony will take place this coming Tuesday at 13:00 Israel time, after the player will perform the medical tests at the club’s facilities, after which his show is planned and a press conference where he will speak for the first time as a Real Madrid player.
This is the fourth most expensive transfer in the history of Real Madrid (the initial purchase fee stands at 80 million euros), with only Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard surpassing the Frenchman. Last season, the Blancos’ freshman acquisition scored five goals and netted three more in 50 appearances in all competitions in the Monaco uniform.
