Liverpool have been handed a major transfer boost after reports have emerged that Real Madrid won’t make a move for Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Tchouameni promises to be one of the transfer sagas of the off season. As one of the most sought after young players in Europe this summer, if the Reds were to pull off the £59m acquisition of the Monaco midfielder, it would be a huge achievement. Real Madrid were seen as favourites for the French international but French journalist Fabrice Hawkins has said that Los Blancos won’t make a move for him this summer unless there is outgoing transfer business at the Bernebau. This could give Liverpool a clear run to sign Tchouameni.
He tweeted: “If there is no major departure in the middle, Real Madrid will not position themselves on Aurélien Tchouaméni this summer. Ancelotti likes the Frenchman but wants to keep his current midfielders. The future of AT [Aurelien Tchouameni] should be written in England if he has to leave Monaco. Paris [PSG] still follows him.”
