With Liverpool manager Arne Slot aiming to strengthen the midfield, the upcoming two transfer windows are expected to be busy for the club. According to recent reports from Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool has made contact with Aurelien Tchouameni’s representatives regarding a potential move.

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Manchester City’s defensive midfielder, Rodri, could influence Tchouameni’s future. To accommodate such a high-profile acquisition, Los Blancos seem open to selling Tchouameni, with reports suggesting they could offload the French international for approximately €60 million (£52 million). Additionally, Madrid is reportedly keeping an eye on Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as an alternative if they fail to secure Rodri.

Liverpool’s coaching staff views Tchouameni as an ideal fit for their tactical setup. Renowned for his physical presence and ability to win back the ball in central midfield, Tchouameni aligns well with the type of player the Reds are seeking. Despite not fully meeting expectations at Madrid, he remains an important figure in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans, with the manager utilizing his versatility by occasionally deploying him as a centre-back to assist an injury-hit defense.

For now, Tchouameni remains focused on his role at Real Madrid and is set to return to action in a La Liga match against Osasuna this Saturday.
