Huge news has been announced on Aurelien Tchouameni’s move to Liverpool. 🚨 Never thought I would be reading news like this.. 🤯
Liverpool has gained momentum in their search for a new midfielder. Though they reached an agreement with Real Sociedad to sign Martin Zubimendi last summer, the transfer ultimately collapsed as the Spanish player opted to stay at his boyhood club.
Liverpool is expected to revisit negotiations in the upcoming January window, but with Manchester City also eyeing Zubimendi as a potential replacement for Rodri, there is no certainty that the player will choose a move to Anfield.
Due to this uncertainty, manager Arne Slot has been exploring other midfield options, and one of his key targets is Aurelien Tchouameni, currently with Real Madrid and the French national team.
Tchouameni has started all seven of Real Madrid’s opening La Liga matches, yet his performances have been somewhat underwhelming since his transfer from Monaco in 2022. As a result, Real Madrid’s coach Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly open to selling the 24-year-old if the right offer comes along.
According to reports from Fichajes, Liverpool seems to be leading the race for Tchouameni and is prepared to make a £66 million (€80 million) bid for the midfielder.
Although Ryan Gravenberch is currently performing well in Slot’s midfield, the Liverpool manager recognizes the need for another high-caliber addition to ensure a smooth transition from the Jurgen Klopp era.
At just 24, Tchouameni has not yet hit his peak at Real Madrid, but with Liverpool’s proven ability to develop talented players, he could be an ideal fit for their long-term ambitions.
