Liverpool They are reportedly ready to make a move to sign. real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni, according to Spanish media Transfers.
After moving to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu from AS Monaco back in 2022, the 24-year-old has enjoyed a successful spell in the Spanish capital of late, winning the champions league and La Liga titles.
Now he is a key piece in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven. However, according to a recent report (via Transfers), the white team has not been completely convinced with the Frenchman's performance and believes that the midfielder does not have the qualities to live up to the club's demands.
The Spanish giants are therefore keen to cash in on him and are willing to accept a fee of around £50m, which is significantly less than the £68m fee they paid to sign him.
Transfers He claims that Liverpool are interested in the French international and are willing to attract him to Anfield, meeting the record demands of the European champions.
Tchouameni to Liverpool
However, the Spanish media claims that acquiring Tchouameni will not be easy for the Merseyside club, as Paris Saint-Germain is also considering signing him.
The midfielder is a defensive midfielder by characteristics, but can also provide cover in the centre-back position if necessary. He is dynamic, strong, good in the air and efficient in defensive contributions.
The Reds were interested in signing a new midfielder this summer and Martín Zubimendi of Real Sociedad was their main target. But the player finally decided to stay at the Reale Arena, rejecting a move to Anfield.
So this suggests that Liverpool wanted to sign a technically sound and deep playmaker rather than a playbreaker, which they already have in Wataru Endo. But Arne Slot has not used it so far this season.
Tchouameni is more of a game-breaker than a creative holding midfielder. Therefore, he may not be the ideal option that the Reds want to reinforce the engine room.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Anfield club finally make a move for Tchouameni if he is available next year.
Meanwhile, following a 3-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the EFL Cup fourth round match, Liverpool have now secured their place in the quarter-finals of this tournament and will now face Southampton in this round the next one. month.
