Tchouaméni Clarifies His Fight With Valverde, Real Madrid Sanctions, and Both Deny Physical Violence

The Frenchman denied rumors of violence and a possible transfer, assuring that with Valverde he maintains the goal of winning titles.

The confrontation between Valverde and Tchouaméni

The Real Madrid locker room has made headlines again in recent days due to the altercations involving Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde. Two consecutive arguments during training ended with the Uruguayan in the hospital, after suffering a gash on his forehead from hitting a table during the verbal exchange. The white entity reacted quickly and imposed a financial penalty of nearly 600,000 dollars on each player, accompanied by public apologies from both.

The statements from Valverde and Tchouaméni

Valverde, in his statement, tried to tone down the controversy and clarified that there was no physical violence between him and his teammate: "I had an incident with a teammate stemming from a play during practice, a situation where fatigue and frustration made everything escalate. Today we argued again and, in the heat of the moment, I accidentally hit a table. My partner didn't hit me, nor did I hit him."

Now it was Tchouaméni's turn, who, from the French national team's training camp, came out to deny the versions that circulated in the press: "Many things have been said that are not true. I have read that there was a fight and that I hit him. That's false. I'm not going to go into more details; the important thing is that the club knows what happened. In the locker room, many things happen that never come to light. Life goes on. With Fede, we have a clear goal: to win titles with Real Madrid. There is no problem between us."

Rejection of the allegations of a transfer

The French midfielder also dismissed the rumors linking him to a possible transfer to Manchester United, asserting that the situation was exaggerated by the media attention that always surrounds the Madrid club.
