Real Madrid are planning a high-profile move to secure Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and could be prepared to test the Reds by including a star midfielder as part of the deal.
Los Blancos are considering including midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni as part of a cash-plus player deal, according to Transfers.
With Alexander-Arnold entering the final year of his contract at Liverpool, Real Madrid see an opportunity to bring the England defender to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Given Liverpool's need for midfield reinforcements, Tchouaméni's bid could make the deal more attractive for the Premier League club.
While the Spanish giants have ruled out the inclusion of striker Rodrygo in any negotiations, they are open to discussing the possibility of sending Tchouaméni to Anfield.
The French midfielder, who joined Madrid in 2022 for a substantial fee of 80 million euroshe was an important player for Los Blancos, appearing in 38 matches in all competitions last season. His versatility has been a key asset, playing as a central defender on 10 occasions when needed.
Despite being a regular in Carlo Ancelotti's XI, Madrid could be willing to part with Tchouaméni if he helps them secure Alexander-Arnold.
Signing the Liverpool defender would significantly strengthen Real Madrid's defence, particularly after Dani Carvajal's long-term injury has left a gap at the right-back position.
However, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will consider letting go of one of their most influential players, even with the prospect of receiving a high-quality midfielder like Tchouaméni in return.
If this deal materializes, it could become one of the most significant transfers.
