Liverpool will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old French international Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid in a deal worth €60 million.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Aurelien Tchouameni is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are keen on signing a holding midfielder in the 2025 summer transfer window. So, they have set their sights on the struggling Real Madrid midfield mainstay, and they will soon present a bid worth €60 million to secure his services.
Aurelien Tchouameni and his career so far
Aurelien Tchouameni has been a solid customer in the middle of the park since joining Real Madrid from AS Monaco in a big-money deal in July 2022. The Frenchman spent his formative years before rising in prominence, compelling many European bigwigs to launch the offensive to sign him.
Real Madrid beat Liverpool to Tchouameni’s signature, and he has been a mainstay in the middle of the park for Los Blancos. However, the 24-year-old has not stamped his authority despite his solid showings in the last 15 months. The player has turned out over 100 times thus far for Real Madrid while chipping in with three goals and five assists.
However, Tchouameni’s inconsistent performances this season have been a contributing factor to Real Madrid’s shocking start to the 2024/25 season. That has led to rumours that Los Blancos might mull over parting ways with the French midfielder in the 2025 summer transfer window, with Liverpool among his prospective suitors.
Will Liverpool sign Tchouameni?
Liverpool’s interest in Aurelien Tchouameni is understandable. The Reds are scouring the market for a holding midfielder heading into the 2025 summer transfer window. While Ryan Gravenberch has made his mark as a holding midfielder this season, Liverpool can do with an alternative to the Dutch midfielder.
The Real Madrid midfielder has thus emerged as a viable target for Liverpool, with the Merseyside club in the pole position to secure his services. The report by Fichajes has suggested that the Reds are preparing an opening bid worth €60 million to secure the Frenchman’s services.
A bid worth €60 million might not be enough for Liverpool to sign Tchouameni from Real Madrid. So, it will be interesting to see how the story progresses when the two European powerhouses begin negotiations surrounding the 24-year-old French international.
