Liverpool have been told that Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni will not be available this summer, despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.
The midfielder was a prime target to bolster Jurgen Klopp's midfield ranks last summer. Instead, the Reds lost out to the club that defeated them in the Champions League Final and the repercussions were felt throughout the 2022/23 campaign.
Since opting to trade Monaco for Madrid instead of Merseyside, however, the Frenchman has struggled for game time with under two thirds of his 33 La Liga appearances so far for Carlo Ancelotti's side coming as a starter. This was due to Eduardo Camavinga's stellar form, and with Jude Bellingham's signing confirmed last week, Tchouameni could be in line for further struggles.
