PSG are reportedly ready to battle it out with Liverpool for the services of Real Madrid midfield mainstay Aurelien Tchouameni.
According to a report from Fichajes, Aurelien Tchouameni could part ways with Real Madrid in the near future. There has been a lot of talk about his continuity at the club, and multiple top clubs are keeping a close eye on his situation. Liverpool and PSG have emerged as the main candidates to prise him away from Santiago Bernabeu.
Tchouameni made a name for himself while playing for AS Monaco. On the back of his impressive performances for the French club, Real Madrid forked out a significant fee to sign him in the summer of 2022.
The French midfielder has gone from strength to strength since making the move to Spain, and he has been key to all the success they have had in recent seasons. While he has done most things right, the 24-year-old defensive midfielder has still not lived up to the expectations.
Tchouameni has not been consistent enough of late, and it has resulted in a lot of talk about his future. While the French international’s contract at the Spanish club runs until the summer of 2028, Los Blancos seem to be ready to listen to offers for the young defensive midfielder.
Real Madrid are open to sanctioning his departure if an interested club meets their demands. They have already started to look for a potential replacement and have been linked with Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez of late.
Liverpool and PSG to battle for Tchouameni
With Tchouameni’s future uncertain, interested clubs have been put on red alert. Liverpool, who have a long-standing interest in the 24-year-old, could knock on the Spanish giants’ door. The Reds have closely monitored him for a while, and they are determined to strengthen their midfield.
Arne Slot’s team were keen on signing a defensive midfielder during the summer. However, things did not go according to plan. Aurelien Tchouameni could be an ideal signing to bolster that position. Slot admires his ability on and off the ball and feels he could be a great fit in his system. They seem to be the most willing to make an offer close to Madrid’s demands.
While the Reds are favourites for now, PSG are all set to battle them for the signature of the French international. PSG want to have the best French players in their ranks, and they are willing to make a big investment to bring the former AS Monaco star back to his homeland.
They want to be competitive in the league as well as in Europe and feel Tchouameni could do wonders for them given the kind of experience he has had at Real Madrid. They want to strengthen their midfield and in the process are looking to offer an attractive and ambitious project to the 24-year-old.
