Real Madrid are reportedly ready to sell French star Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.
Tchouameni has played out of position at centre-back under Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabeu amid the club's injury problems which have ruled out both Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal until next season, while David Alaba is yet to make a full return from his long spell. term problems.
But despite the Frenchman's displays while not in his best role, the club are reportedly open to selling the 24-year-old in the summer if they receive a suitable offer, according to Spanish outlet Relevo. It adds that the La Liga giants will not hesitate to sanction a departure if an opportunity arises, even though Ancelotti remains a big fan of the player.
Tchouameni cost Madrid around £70m when he joined from AS Monaco in 2022 and has already made 112 appearances for the team, with Ancelotti considering him an “integral” to his side.
He has impressed enough as a centre-back but is said to be 'unlucky' to have been singled out as the scapegoat for Madrid's recent poor form. Liverpool are looking for an additional midfielder to expand their options and could be tempted to move the player in the summer as the club reportedly approached the player's agent last year to express interest in a move gauge.
It is believed the Reds wanted to complete a deal for Tchouameni in 2022 before he ultimately opted for a move to Madrid – with boss Michael Edwards a huge admirer of the France international.
The Reds tried to sign Martin Zubimendi last year but to no avail. The Spaniard now seems likely to go to Arsenal. Slot may feel he still needs more cover in midfield, with Wataro Endo linked with a move away due to his lack of playing time.
