Martin suggests that if Real Madrid keeps Tchouameni, they may be closing the door on signing Fernandes. However, if they sell Tchouameni to Manchester United, they could recoup some money and use it to sign Fernandes, who is one of Mourinho's top targets.

Manchester United are unwilling to meet West Ham's £80m asking price for Fernandes, so this could be a viable option for Real Madrid. By selling Tchouameni to United, Real could potentially sign Fernandes, who has been a top target for Mourinho.
