Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni.

The Los Blancos signed Tchouameni for €100m last summer, and the Spanish giants are hesitant to let him go.

This is according to transfer specialist, Fabrizio Romano.

Liverpool’s interest in Tchouameni dates back to last summer when he came close to joining the Reds from AS Monaco, before the deal was hijacked by Madrid.

“Let me say, from Real Madrid, the message is very clear – they want to keep the player,” Romano said in a recent update.

“They trust Tchouameni for present and future of the club, so it’s not going to be easy to bring Tchouameni to English football. At the moment it looks very complicated.

“Also, Carlo Ancelotti was very clear with the player. He told him that he wants Tchouameni to stay at Real Madrid and to be an important player for Real Madrid.

“Let’s see what happens, but from Madrid they still consider Tchouameni as a crucial part of their project.”
