On Tuesday, Real Madrid announced that they’d agreed on a deal to sign the highly-rated Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco.
The 22-year-old was thought to be a target for Liverpool, who had been impressed by the Frenchman’s performances in Ligue 1 this season. However, it’s ultimately been Los Blancos that have won the race to land his signature for an eye-watering fee in the region of £80million.
Liverpool may yet continue their hunt for a new midfielder as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his options ahead of the new season, and bringing in a profile similar to that of Tchouameni could be a priority. Mirror Football has highlighted three players who the Reds can target instead this summer, with days remaining until the window opens.
