According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Liverpool remain interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni next summer. The Premier League club are set to open discussions with the Spanish club in the coming weeks.
Aurelien Tchouameni has lost his form recently
Aurelien Tchouameni arrived at Real Madrid from Monaco in the summer of 2022. He came with a lot of expectations, which he has barely managed to deliver. While the midfielder started on a promising note, he is falling down the pack this season.
Tchouameni is struggling to make an impact on the games in the ongoing campaign. He has featured in 15 games so far but hasn’t registered a goal or assist to his name. Even in the defensive aspects, he has looked shaky.
The French midfielder is rated highly and is considered a regular name on the French national team. He is known for his timely tackles, interceptions, and ball distributions. He is also good in aerial duels and can operate as a centre-back if required.
Liverpool want to bring Aurelien Tchouameni home
Liverpool wanted to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer window to strengthen the midfield. They had only Wataru Endo as the notable name for the defensive choice. However, the Spanish player decided against moving to the Anfield.
Interestingly, Arne Slot has used Ryan Gravenberch effectively in the mentioned position this season. With the Reds looking to offload Endo, their pursuit of Aurelien Tchouameni is understandable.
Liverpool will take advantage of their upcoming Champions League fixture with Real Madrid to initiate talks over the possible transfer of the French international. If the Spanish club express their will to let the player go, the English giant will surely start negotiating on the price tag apart from discussions with the player.
