Report: Liverpool now prepared to make the £90m Real Madrid player a serious transfer target

Liverpool are reportedly ready to make Aurelien Tchouameni a serious transfer target this summer, but only if Real Madrid put the midfielder up for sale.

Jurgen Klopp remains interested in the France international, according to the Telegraph. However, a transfer of Tchouameni is only possible if Los Blancos place the 23-year-old on the transfer list.

Liverpool came close to signing Tchouameni last summer before Madrid hijacked the deal and managed to bring the AS Monaco star to Spain while the Reds were left empty-handed.

However, Liverpool have never given up on their interest in Tchouameni and the Reds could now opt for the midfielder if Madrid decide to sell the Frenchman this summer, which is highly likely. The Mirror recently reported that Real Madrid were reported to sell the youngster for £90m. However, with Liverpool now in the money after the sale of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, a compromise could be made.

Indeed, Madrid’s hunt for Kylian Mbappe is no secret this summer. And Tchouameni’s transfer to Liverpool, having already signed Jude Bellingham, could help Carlo Ancelotti’s side cross the line for the PSG superstar.

If Real sell Tchouameni to Liverpool it would be a win-win situation

Liverpool are looking for a midfielder and Real are looking at ways to raise money for Mbappé. The solution? Selling Tchouameni to the Reds, making the transfer a win-win situation for all parties involved.

As we know, Tchouameni was close to signing for the Reds last year before Real Madrid flexed their muscles to bring French talent to Spain. And a year after the transfer, the midfielder could still end up at Anfield.

Of course, it could all hinge on Madrid thinking that the sale of Tchouameni will finally help them sign Mbappé. But with the PSG star keen on a move, Liverpool could hit the jackpot and bring the midfielder to Merseyside this summer.

26-YEAR-OLD LIVERPOOL PLAYER AGREED ON TERMS TO JOIN LEEDS UNITED

Leeds United are said to have agreed personal terms with Nat Phillips as they target the Liverpool defender.

Nat Phillips is a prime target for Leeds United this summer and a report suggests personal terms have been agreed.

This reports Last Word on Sports, which says Leeds have reached a preliminary agreement with Phillips.

If true, the next job is to finalize a fee with Liverpool and try to bring Phillips to Elland Road.

Leeds are inching closer to signing Ethan Ampadu, who can operate as both a central defender and defensive midfielder. However, we expect him to play the latter role and with Robin Koch’s move to Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds need another centre-back.

Phillips appears to be the primary target and if his reps agree on personal terms, that would be a big step in the right direction.

Athletic reported on Leeds’ interest in Phillips in June and hinted that Liverpool were aiming for around £10million.

It would be a big outlay for Leeds, especially with Ampadu costing at least £7million, but new boss Daniel Farke needs to be backed up with signings.

Daniel Farke would surely support Nat Phillips move

The Athletic report also added that Farke was looking to sign Phillips during his tenure as Norwich City manager. That move never happened, but Farke would finally get the chance to work with Phillips in Leeds.

The whites want to return to the Premier League and a no-nonsense defender like Phillips could be ideal.

The 26-year-old was promoted from Championship side Bournemouth in 2022 and Leeds are hoping to see him do the same at Elland Road.

Phillips may not be flashy, but he’s performed admirably in recent years when he’s been called up to Liverpool.

A 6-foot 3-inch centre-back with great airpower and a desire to block and clear anything in his path, Phillips could help Leeds build a winning defensive line under Farke.
