Monaco to use £85m Aurelien Tchouameni windfall to fund Liverpool transfer

Liverpool Aurelien Tchouameni Monaco Takumi Minamino Southampton

Monaco could use some of the £85m raised from the sale of midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni to sign Liverpool star Takumi Minamino.

A report in The Times claims the Ligue 1 outfit currently lead the race for the Japan international, who is free to leave Anfield this summer after two-and-a-half years with the club. Liverpool are believed to value Minamino at £17 million.

Monaco have money to spend after selling Tchouameni to Champions League winners Real Madrid, despite big interest from both Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. The Reds missed out on the 22-year-old as he favoured a move to the La Liga giants.
