Liverpool are considering offering Ryan Gravenberch in a player plus cash deal to sign Real Madrid mainstay Aurelien Tchouameni.
According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool are keen on acquiring the services of Aurelien Tchouameni as they look to reinforce their midfield. In order to bring the Real Madrid midfield mainstay to the club, the Reds are considering putting forward a player plus cash deal involving Ryan Gravenberch.
The Merseyside club want to sign a new defensive midfielder and Tchouameni has been on their wishlist for some time now. They are ready to part ways with their 22-year-old Dutch midfield sensation and are willing to offer another €20 to €30 million on top to get a deal over the line.
Gravenberch hasn’t found it easy to settle into the Liverpool first team since moving to Anfield in the summer of 2023 from Bayern Munich. While the debut season didn’t really go according to plan, the Dutch international has done wonders under Arne Slot.
The Reds wanted to sign a new number six in the summer but they couldn’t secure one. As a result, Slot ended up using Gravenberch as the defensive midfielder and he has been doing wonders for them.
While the 22-year-old has been a consistent performer as a number six and is capable enough to play multiple roles in the centre of the park, the Merseyside club still want to bring in a world-class defensive midfielder to help them compete with the best teams in the world.
A swap deal between Liverpool and Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni has been on the Premier League club’s radar for some time and they are considering making a move for him in the near future. While the former Monaco star has only gone from strength to strength since moving to Real Madrid, he hasn’t been at his best of late and there are question marks over his future.
Liverpool are looking to make the most out of the situation and offer the 24-year-old a way out of Spain. In order to strike a deal with Real Madrid, the Reds are considering offering them the services of the versatile Gravenberch who seems to be an ideal fit for their project. Along with the Dutch international, Slot’s team are also willing to give another €20 to €30 million as cash.
Gravenberch has the talent to do wonders for Los Blancos while Tchouameni’s physicality and his ball-winning abilities could help Liverpool take the next step. It seems to be a win-win situation for both parties and will be one to watch out for.
