Aurelien Tchouameni speaks out over future amid Liverpool rumours as Kalvin Phillips claim made

A week into May and Liverpool still remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple. Carabao Cup winners, FA Cup finalists, Champions League finalists and just a point off the top of the Premier League, there is seemingly no stopping Jurgen Klopp's Reds.

Should the Merseyside club pull off the improbable and actually win all four major trophies, it will mark the most remarkable season in the club's long and illustrious history and yet, such is the nature of their journey, they could still just end the campaign as League Cup winners by the end of this month.

It could hardly be a more exciting time to be a Red and that principle applies to players who might want a slice of the pie. With this in mind, here's a round-up of the latest Liverpool transfer rumours doing the rounds on the world wide web.

Who?

Aurelien Tchouameni

Where?

The Mirror

Why?

Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has spoken about heavy speculation linking him with a big money move this summer, with Liverpool and Real Madrid reportedly amongst his top suitors.

The Ligue 1 side have slapped a hefty £83million price tag on their star man, which seems like an unlikely price for the Reds to pay, but talk of an Anfield move is not going away and the player himself is not exactly dismissing it either.

Speaking to reporters, via the Mirror, he said: “I am contracted here until 2024 with the option until 2025. We’ll see what the future has in store for me. The transfer window is always a period where lots of things can happen.

"“There is my personal case, but there are cases for lots of other players who are out of contract or who perhaps have desires elsewhere.”

The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting young midfield talents in European football.

Who?

Raphinha

Where?

Sport

Why?

The Reds have been routinely linked with Leeds United winger Raphinha this season, but the player himself appears to have his heart set on on a move to La Liga.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, the 25-year-old Brazilian, whose agent is former Barca star Deco, will now only consider a move to the Nou Camp this summer, should he leave relegation-threatened Leeds United.

Raphinha has 12 goals in 32 appearances for the Elland Road club this campaign.

Who?

Kalvin Phillips

Where?

Give me Sport

Why?

Liverpool and Manchester United are two clubs who have 'done their homework' in the pursuit of Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

The England international is under contract until 2024 at Elland Road but could leave this summer if the Yorkshire club are relegated from the Premier League.

Journalist Phil Brown told Give me Sport : “I just think Phillips is set for either Liverpool or Manchester United. I think he’s going to go to one of those two clubs; it seems like they’ve done the groundwork there and that if he leaves Leeds, it’s going to be a straight choice between those two.”
