Liverpool Football Club has recently informed Real Madrid of their interest in signing Aurelien Tchouameni if he becomes available during the summer transfer window. The French international has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time. They have rekindled their interest in him. The Reds have reportedly approached Los Blancos for the midfielder, indicating their readiness to sign him if he becomes available.
Background of Aurelien Tchouameni
Graduated from Girondins Bordeaux Academy
Aurelien Tchouameni started his career at the Girondins Bordeaux Academy. He rose to prominence after joining AS Monaco, where he spent 30 months and established himself as one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1.
Joined Real Madrid last summer
After Liverpool and Real Madrid pursued him, Tchouameni signed with Los Blancos last summer. Real Madrid paid a base fee of €80 million for his services, with add-ons potentially taking the total cost to €100 million.
Has endured a hit-and-miss season with Real Madrid
Tchouameni made an immediate impact as a first-team starter at Real Madrid but has been a second-string player in recent weeks. He has made 44 appearances this season and has contributed four assists.
Why Liverpool is interested in Tchouameni?
Desperate to sign midfield reinforcements
Liverpool will lose three midfielders – James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – this summer as free agents. Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are not the dominant midfielders they once were, and Thiago Alcantara has struggled with fitness issues this campaign. Therefore, it is essential for Liverpool to search for a midfield reinforcement.
Tchouameni has emerged as a viable target
Aurelien Tchouameni has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool. They have informed Real Madrid that they are ready to sign him if he becomes available. The Reds have given up on signing Jude Bellingham so they can focus on other midfield targets like Tchouameni.
Will Real Madrid sell Tchouameni to Liverpool?
A summer move is unlikely
It is unclear if Real Madrid will be open to cashing in on Tchouameni after just one year, making a summer move unlikely. However, if the improbable happens, a fee worth over €100 million will be on the cards.
Liverpool owners’ commitment to the club remains strong
The club’s owners, who took over in 2010, opened the door to a sale in November, but quickly changed their minds and began looking for outside investment in a bid to shore up the club ahead of what is expected to be a difficult period, not least because of the need to rebuild the team.
When speaking to the ECHO in March, John Henry, FSG’s chief executive officer and Liverpool’s principal owner said that FSG’s ownership of the club “remains as strong as ever.” Potential investors had been identified, with that process set to advance in the coming months.
Conclusion
Liverpool Football Club is interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid. The French international midfielder has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time. They have informed Los Blancos of their readiness to sign him if he becomes available. However, a summer move is unlikely. Real Madrid will look to recoup the €100 million they paid for Tchouameni if they sell him anytime soon.
