Liverpool are eager to push for Aurelien Tchouameni in January amid rumours of fan discontent with the French midfielder at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool might consider pushing to sign Aurelien Tchouameni in January. The future of the midfielder at the Santiago Bernabeu has come into some doubt. However, the Real Madrid manager considers him a key star in the squad, which could make any move difficult in January.
Liverpool have had a flying run this season in all competitions. Arne Slot’s arrival has brought fresh energy to these players, which essentially is the same group that Jurgen Klopp left behind. The Merseysiders are top of the Premier League and Champions League standings, which has now seen calls for making key Jnauary reinforcements a necessity.
It’s hard to argue that Liverpool is in a solid enough position to want to bring new faces to help with the push on all fronts. There’s also the argument that they are injury or two away from dropping off, as the central midfield area should once again concern Arne Slot, where he might have already used Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.
They did want to bring a new defensive midfielder in the summer before Gravenberch’s unexpected rise, as Arne Slot could make use of the January window to address that issue. Martin Zubimendi, who rejected Liverpool in the summer, was linked again, although the midfielder is reportedly staying put at Real Sociedad in January.
They have also held an interest in Aurelien Tchouameni, which could now take shape as Liverpool are eager to push for the Frenchman in January. There were rumours that the Reds also pondered offering Gravenberch for Tchouameni, although the real idea might be for Arne Slot to have both those stars on this side.
Real Madrid unlikely to sell Aurenlien Tchouameni
There have been rumours that Tchouameni had considered an exit, but that may not be the reality of the situation. Liverpool remains an attractive destination, although the Bernabue might have its lure to help keep the player here.
While Liverpool might come calling with a good enough budget for the 24-year-old Real Madrid star, Carlo Ancelotti continues to value him greatly, and that might help persuade Tchouameni. Since the report also talks about fans’ discontent with the midfielder, Ancelotti will see the benefit in keeping him, considering the Frenchman can play defence, as they are already missing Eder Militao following another knee injury.
