Real Madrid do not plan to sell Aurelien Tchouameni to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the summer transfer window, according to a report in the Spanish media.
Real Madrid stance on Liverpool target Aurelien Tchouameni
Cuatro have claimed that Liverpool manager Klopp has told the Reds to get a deal done for Real Madrid midfielder Tchouameni.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are reportedly willing to pay €80 million (£70 million) for the 23-year-old France international defensive midfielder.
However, according to the report, last season’s La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners are not willing to sell the £119,000-a-week (SalarySport) 23-year-old.
Madrid are not bothered that Tchouameni is not getting much playing time under current head coach Carlo Ancelotti and believe that he will be a future star for Los Blancos, according to the report.
Summer transfer very unlikely
In our view, Real Madrid will not sell Aurelien Tchouameni to Liverpool, or to any other club for that matter, in the summer transfer window.
After all, Madrid signed the 23-year-old from AS Monaco in the summer of 2022.
There is no way that Los Blancos are going to offload such a talented and quality player after just one season.
Tchouameni himself may not be keen on leaving Madrid in the summer of 2023 anyway.
Yes, the youngster will surely want to play more regularly, but he will also be aware that he is at arguably the biggest club in the world who regularly win La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Tchouameni has made 21 starts and seven substitute appearances in La Liga for Madrid this season.
The 23-year-old has given four assists in those games.
The defensive midfielder has also made five starts and four substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League this campaign.
