Liverpool supposedly wants to sign real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in January, according to a Spanish media Transfers.
The Reds have continued to shine under Arne Slot this season. After beating Leicester City 3-1 in the first division On Boxing Day, they have extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points with a game in hand.
The Merseyside club have only lost one game under the Dutch manager so far this season. Considering the level of performance they have shown in the first half of this season, it will be a big surprise if they fail to win the Premier League at the end of this season.
Meanwhile, Slot signed Federico Chiesa last summer but were interested in acquiring a new midfielder. He ultimately failed to do so before the deadline and it has been reported that Slot wants to strengthen the Reds' engine room next month.
Transfers He claims that Liverpool want Tchouameni and are interested in buying him mid-season. Speculation about his future continues to arise in recent times after failing to show his best this term.
Tchouameni to Liverpool
Despite this, he continues to play a key role in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven but has been harshly criticized by fans. Now, Liverpool have closely monitored his situation and are willing to make significant financial efforts to attract him to Anfield.
Tchouameni is valued at around £66m Transfer market and has a contract until 2028 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Therefore, it is unlikely that Real Madrid will allow him to leave for little money and it remains to be seen how much they demand for him.
Along with Real Madrid, the Frenchman continues to play a key role for his country under Didier Deschamps and guided his country to reach the semi-finals of the European Championship last summer before losing to eventual champions Spain.
The 24-year-old is a versatile player as he is comfortable playing in the defensive midfield position as well as the centre-back position. He is fast, strong, effective in defensive contributions and also good in the air. If Liverpool manage to sign him, it would definitely be a big coup.
