Former Liverpool target Aurelien Tchouameni has revealed that he decided against a move to Anfield as soon as Real Madrid's interest in him emerged.
Tchouameni, 22, was one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe prior to his big-money switch to the Bernabeu last summer and was being pursued by a host of high-profile clubs.
Reds chief Jurgen Klopp was keen on bringing the former Monaco man to Merseyside to revamp Liverpool's midfield. But Los Blancos swooped in to pinch the midfield magician - and Tchouameni has now explained that his choice was "already made" once it became clear that Real Madrid were a viable option.
