A report says that Real Madrid is ready to sell Aurelien Tchouameni for the right price and that Liverpool are “willing” to spend a lot of money on their second attempt to sign the French midfielder.

Liverpool tried to sign Tchouameni before when he was still playing for Monaco in the summer of 2022. The Reds were in talks to sign the player, but he only wanted to play for Real Madrid.

As soon as Liverpool became interested in me, Tchouameni told Le Parisien. This was a few months after he signed with Real Madrid. “We talked about it, but as soon as Real Madrid came in, I made up my mind.”

“I didn’t think about it for a second.” I told my boss, “Take me to Real Madrid.”

But a new report from Fichajes in Spain says that Real Madrid has made it possible for Tchouameni to join Liverpool in the summer of 2025, three years after the deal was made.

They say that Real Madrid has “put Tchouameni on the way out” and “would not be against selling him if a good offer comes in.” When asked how much of a bid is needed, the story said €80m, which is about £66.7m or $89m.

On the other hand, Liverpool was said to be “willing to bet heavily on the midfielder.”

The chances of Tchouameni going to Liverpool are made clear Liverpool tried to improve their middle over the summer, but they were not able to sign their top target, Martin Zubimendi.

It has been suggested that Real Sociedad’s star player could be put back on the market in January. Manchester City is also interested, even though Rodri had to have surgery to end his season.

Compared to Zubimendi, who does well as a deep-lying playmaker, Tchouameni would be a more damaging choice.

It’s important to keep in mind, though, that Fichajes isn’t known for being one of the most reputable sources of transfer news.

The news source said Real Madrid’s desire to sell Tchouameni could be because they have a lot of good players.

Luka Modric, who is 39 years old, may do the same when his deal ends at the end of the season. Toni Kroos, on the other hand, retired over the summer.

If you remember back to September, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that Tchouameni leaving Real Madrid was not a good plan.

“We heard these rumors in England, and since the summer transfer window just closed, we keep getting a lot of questions about Tchouameni.” “A lot of people spread rumors about Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tchouameni in 2025,” Romano said on his podcast Here We Go.

“I needed to make something clear for 2024, 2025, 2026, or any other year.” The goal for Aurelien Tchouameni is to stay at Real Madrid.

“Real Madrid wants to keep Aurelien Tchouameni because he is an important player for that project.” For now and in the future. They love Tchouameni, both as a player and as a worker.

Alisson Becker has become a clear target for Bayern Munich as a player who could replace Manuel Neuer in 2025.

TEAMtalk has learned that the Brazilian will think about his options at the end of the season. That’s when Giorgi Mamardashvili will come to Merseyside.

According to our sources, Alisson does feel angry that the club signed someone to replace him even though he is still probably the best custodian in the world. This is despite public claims to the contrar

y.

Also, TEAMtalk can report that Liverpool is really interested in Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. People think that the 25-year-old would take over for Mohamed Salah if he doesn’t sign a new deal. Salah’s contract is coming to an end next year.

How Tchouameni has done since Liverpool missed out on a transfer Ever since the summer of 2013, Liverpool has had a dream midfielder that they tried to sign but failed to do so.

Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad did it this year. The player from last year was Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund. And it was Tchouameni from Monaco in 2022.

Because Real Madrid signed both Bellingham and Tchouameni instead, they were no longer able to sign them. Most people know how well Bellingham, an English player, has done at the Bernabeu, but what about his French teammate?

After being bought for €80 million by Real Madrid, Tchouameni quickly became a player that Carlo Ancelotti used a lot. He played 50 times in his first season, starting 33 games and coming on as a replacement 17 times. In those games, he didn’t score, and his play got worse near the end of the season. However, he set up goals against Espanyol (at home and away), Atletico Madrid, and Cadiz.

Los Blancos won the UEFA Super Cup on his first game, which was also his first trophy. Later in the season, they would win the FIFA Club World Cup and the Copa del Rey.

Tchouameni became important to Madrid in a way they might not have thought possible last season. This time, he only played 38 times, partly because he was hurt, but 10 of those were as a centre back to make up for other players’ losses and show how versatile he is.

Still, he scored three goals when he played defensive middle, which is where he liked to play: against Girona, Las Palmas, and Mallorca.

Not only did he help his team win La Liga, but he also played all 90 minutes in the Supercopa de España final, which they also won. He was supposed to be an injury substitute for the Champions League final, but he didn’t play because he had already played eight times leading up to their 15th European title.

Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup again at the start of this season, making it three straight wins in a row. Tchouameni has mostly been put back in middle, but he has still played defence once in his nine games.

It’s still common to see Tchouameni in France’s national teams. Out of his 36 caps, 24 have come since he joined Real Madrid. These include games at the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Euro.
