Premier League club still lurking around Real Madrid midfielder- report

Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid has caught the eye of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. The French midfielder has emerged as Klopp’s personal favorite for bolstering Liverpool’s midfield options.

According to The Telegraph, Liverpool is actively seeking to add a top-quality player to their midfield ranks.

This strategic move is prompted by the imminent departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, who are rumored to be heading to Saudi Arabia.

While the recent acquisition of Dominik Szoboszlai has provided some reinforcement, Liverpool still recognizes the need for further midfield depth.

Among the various potential targets identified by Liverpool, Aurelien Tchouameni stands out as a priority.

The Frenchman’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, and Liverpool had previously expressed interest in signing him last summer.

However, Tchouameni ultimately opted to join Real Madrid on a lucrative six-year contract, commanding a transfer fee in the region of €80 million, potentially rising to €100 million based on performance-related bonuses.

Liverpool’s interest in Tchouameni has not waned, and the club remains open to negotiations with Real Madrid.

However, any potential deal would likely hinge on Real Madrid’s ability to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.

The acquisition of Kylian Mbappe would require significant financial resources, which Real Madrid could potentially generate through player sales.
