Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both looking to strengthen their midfield. And now, they have set their sights on one of the biggest names in European football.
Recently, both clubs are on a disappointing run. Liverpool just slipped off the top 4 race due to the loss to Bournemouth.
For Tottenham, they are struggling to win games. That is why pressure is rising on Thomas Frank to deliver. Otherwise, the Spurs might sack their manager.
Now, both clubs are looking to back their respective managers and want them to succeed. And, that is why they are ready to sign one of the most exciting midfielders from Real Madrid.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has become the subject of serious Premier League interest.
The report claims that both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are willing to go as high as €100 million to prise the French international away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Inside Real Madrid, however, this interest has not come as a shock. Over the past year, Tchouameni has grown into a key figure for the club.
For Liverpool, midfield reinforcement remains a priority. The club are searching for a long-term presence who can control games and dictate tempo. Tchouameni fits that profile perfectly.
Meanwhile, the Spurs also believe the time is right to make a statement signing. They feel the Real Madrid midfielder can elevate them to the next level.
At Madrid, though, the feeling is clear. Tchouameni’s development is still ongoing. Club figures, including Álvaro Arbeloa, rate him highly and believe his best years are still ahead.
Despite the €100 million figures creating plenty of noise, they have not altered Madrid’s stance. Barring an unexpected twist, Real Madrid are preparing to keep hold of their midfielder.
