  • Liverpool are preparing to offer Real Madrid a whopping offer for Aurelien Tchouameni
  • The Reds are handicapped in midfield and are looking for reinforcements before the window shuts
  • Tchouameni joined Real Madrid last summer for a transfer fee in the region of €80 million

Liverpool are desperate to bolster their midfield this season and have identified Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as the club’s major target.

After losing their top two transfer targets, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, to Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp is keen to bring a marquee player to toughen up their midfield.

According to Sportskeeda, Liverpool are willing to offer up to €100mil to Real Madrid for Tchouameni, who has made 51 appearances across competitions for the La Liga giants.

The losses of midfielders Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who all left the Reds this summer, have left Liverpool with an unbalanced midfielder heading into the 2023/24 season.

Tchouameni, who is into his second season in Spain, is widely regarded as an important member of Real Madrid's squad, and any prospective trade would heavily depend on club president Florentino Perez.

Real Madrid responds to Liverpool interest

Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is seen as a key player by Real Madrid, and the Frenchman has no interest in pushing for a move away from the Spanish capital this summer, The Athletic reports.

Liverpool are among a number of leading clubs who retain a long-term admiration for the French midfielder, but Los Blancos see the 23-year-old as a key player and would not entertain talks of his departure.

Tchouameni featured for 90 minutes on Saturday during Real Madrid's season opener against Athletic Bilbao and is expected to play a key role under Carlo Ancelotti this season.

Real’s Tchouameni trolls Jude Bellingham

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Real Madrid players have held back their admiration for their latest Galactico signing, Jude Bellingham.

Since the midfielder’s arrival, a host of the players have taken to social media to gently tease the former Borussia Dortmund star.

French midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni appeared to have taken the jokes shared between the pair a notch higher after he took to his Twitter to remind Bellingham of one of the saddest moments of his professional career so far – the FIFA World Cup defeat to France in Qatar.
