Reports suggest that Real Madrid may be willing to let go of midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni to fund high-profile transfers despite having signed him to a six-year contract upon his arrival in Spain.

Liverpool are exploring the possibility of re-entering the race for Tchouameni reports Teamtalk with manager Arne Slot eager to bring the talented midfielder to Merseyside.

The Reds had previously insisted that Martin Zubimendi was their sole target for the defensive midfield role highlighting their desire to strengthen this area.

Now with a new era underway for the current table-toppers Liverpool could finally make a move for a player Jurgen Klopp expressed interest in during his penultimate summer transfer window.
