Fabrizio Romano provides update on future of Chelsea-linked midfielder

Chelsea was one of the clubs interested in signing Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, but the Blues are understood to be out of the running following owner Roman Abramovich's recent sanctioning. 

Despite the fact that other teams have tried to gain an advantage in the battle to recruit the highly-rated midfielder, journalist Fabrizio Romano recently reported that the fight for the Frenchman is still wide open. 

"If I were at a large club and saw a profile like Aurelien, I would want his services," Monaco's sporting director Paul Mitchell told The Athletic last year on the possibility of losing Tchouameni. 

"I feel he has the ability to play in the finest leagues in the world and dominate the most important games."
