Liverpool aim to finalise deal for Real Madrid’s €80 million star in January – report | OneFootball

Liverpool’s pursuit of Aurelien Tchouameni has become a major talking point, with reports from Fichajes suggesting that the Premier League giants are keen to secure his signature during the January transfer window.

This potential move could not only strengthen Liverpool’s midfield but also provide the French international with a fresh start amidst mounting criticism at Real Madrid.

Tchouameni’s journey at Real Madrid has been challenging. Although Carlo Ancelotti sees him as a vital piece of his tactical plans, the Frenchman has struggled to win over a significant portion of the fanbase.

Despite his undeniable talent, fans have raised concerns over his performances, expecting a quicker impact following his high-profile move to Madrid.

This criticism has fuelled speculation about his future at the club, opening the door to interest from Liverpool.

While the team has been performing well this season, Arne Slot is eager to strengthen the squad further, especially in the midfield, to boost their chances of clinching the league title.

The financial aspect of this potential deal is significant. Tchouameni’s market value and Real Madrid’s reluctance to sell mean Liverpool would have to make a considerable investment to bring him to Anfield.

Liverpool are willing to make efforts

However, the English club appears willing to make the necessary effort to secure his services in January, seeing him as a long-term solution in their quest for dominance in domestic and European competitions.

For now, Tchouameni remains focused on his role at Real Madrid, aiming to prove his worth and regain the support of the fans.

However, the growing interest from Liverpool presents a realistic opportunity for the midfielder to start afresh and contribute to a team hungry for success.

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether this transfer becomes a reality.
