Real Madrid are reportedly giving consideration to delaying a move for Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni until 2023.
Having continued to enhance his reputation this campaign, the France international is being tipped to move to a top European club in the summer.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are all said to be interested in securing a deal for the 22-year-old, who will cost in excess of £40m.

However, according to Marca, Real are not in any rush to complete a deal for Tchouameni and hope he will spend another year at Stade Louis II.
The report claims that Carlo Ancelotti is willing to stick with his current crop of midfielders for 2022-23, the club instead prioritising on strengthening other positions.
In sharp contrast, the player, and potentially Monaco, are said to favour a sale in the coming months with just over two years left on his contract.
