According to The Athletic, it is Real Madrid who have won the race for his signature and have a ‘verbal agreement’ with Monaco for the transfer.
The report adds that it is only a case of the paperwork being signed and the standard procedures being passed before the deal is made official.
The ‘total package’ – which will likely include the transfer fee, wages, signing bonus, agent fees and any add-ons – is said to come to over £85million.
Sportsmail reported on Monday that Real Madrid were hopeful of agreeing a transfer fee of around £68million.
Having started his career at Bordeaux, Tchouameni moved to Monaco in January 2020 and won the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award in his first full season at the club.

In 2021-22, the midfielder made 50 appearances in all competitions as Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 for the second season in a row.
He made his senior debut for France in September and has since earned 10 caps for Les Bleus.
It was only last week that Tchouameni said that he had not made a decision on his future, but now it seems as though he will join Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
‘Still no, [I haven’t decided on my future],’ the 22-year-old said, while away on international duty. ‘It doesn’t worry me because it’s a position in which I [have] always wanted to be in. At the point in which the best clubs are following me, it means I am doing things well.’
