The 23 year old madrid starlet has long been a target for Liverpool. He passed on the Reds last summer to join Real Madrid. We still want him, though.
The Merseysiders intend to use the midfielder’s problematic situation at the Bernabeu to ultimately employ his services, claims Spanish source Nacional.
News: Liverpool offers player a contract of £83,000 per week – Corriere del Mezzogiorno
The Catalan news site reported that Klopp’s Liverpool have made the French international an offer of 55 million euros (£47 million).
To sell the Les Bleus player, whose growth in Spain has been sluggish, the Los Blancos will want a fee of at least 80 million euros (£69 million).
Madrid has a large number of players of high caliber and depth in the center of the park.
German international, Toni Kroos, has officially signed a one year deal with the La Liga giants, Modric is also expected to stay until next year and they have recently added Jude Bellingham to further reinforce the department.
Not to forget, midfielders like Valverde, Camavinga and Ceballos are there as well and therefore, Tchouameni may get fewer minutes next season. He started 24 league games in the 2022-23 campaign.
Last year, Florentino Perez agreed a deal worth 100 million euros to lure the 23-year-old from AS Monaco, so, how can Liverpool even think of signing him for 55 million euros this year?
The former Ligue 1 star was a key member of the France squad that reached the World Cup final in Qatar. He scored a fantastic long-range goal in the last eight against England.
In your view, should Liverpool offer the £69million asking fee to sign Aurelien Tchouameni.

Liverpool in battle with Chelsea over Chiesa’s signature
Liverpool are reportedly in a battle with Chelsea over a deal to sign Juventus star Federico Chiesa this summer, as per the Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.
After moving to the Allianz Stadium from Fiorentina, the 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best attackers in Serie A over the last few years. So, it is not a surprise to see elite European teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool have been showing interest in signing the forward in recent times.
According to the report by Gazzetta dello Sport, having failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, Juventus have suffered a big economic blow and they are planning to combat it by selling Chiesa this summer.
The report further claims that Jurgen Klopp ‘really likes’ the player so Liverpool are preparing to make a concrete approach to sign the Italian and are ready to submit a £34m[€40m] bid. However, Juventus want £52m[€60m] to let their star man leave so, it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside club decide to meet the Serie A giant’s valuation if they formalise their interest.
However, the Italian newspaper says that purchasing Chiesa won’t be straightforward for Liverpool as Chelsea are also keen on signing the forward this summer.
Battle
After returning from a serious knee injury, Chiesa initially struggled to perform at his best last season, however, he showcased glimpses of his old self during the business end.
Chiesa likes to be deployed in the left-wing position but he is comfortable playing on the opposite flank as well. The 25-year-old is quick, technically sound, has the ability to create chances for fellow attackers, can finish off his chances and also works extremely hard without possession.
The Italian is an extremely talented player and possesses high potential. So, he would be a great coup for Liverpool or Chelsea if either club manage to secure his signature in this transfer window.
However, Liverpool are currently well-stocked in their attacking department and they don’t need to invest more to strengthen that department this summer.
So, Chelsea would be a better destination for Chiesa over Liverpool if he ends up leaving the Allianz Stadium over the coming weeks. It is going to be interesting to see whether the Reds or the Blues opt to formalise their interest in Chiesa to bolster their frontline in this transfer window.
