Real Madrid are reportedly ‘open to offers’ for Liverpool target Aurélien Tchouameni as the midfielder’s recent performances have been ‘unconvincing’.

The France international left AS Monaco to join Real Madrid for a potential total fee of around £86million in the 2022 summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has already surpassed 100 appearances for the Spanish giants, but has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid in recent months.

Tchouameni was criticized for his performance in Real Madrid’s 4-0 defeat to Barcelona earlier this month, but Liverpool are said to be ‘excited’ about the midfielder and Arne Slot is ‘ready to bet big’ on the £66m star.

A report in Spain claims Tchouameni still has the backing of Carlo Ancelotti, but he is “running out of support” and Real Madrid are “already open to offers” for him as the winter transfer window approaches.

Tchouameni “would currently raise more doubts than certainties”, because the leaders of Real Madrid would no longer be “convinced”.

It’s also notable that Ancelotti is ‘at odds’ with Real Madrid over Eduardo Camavinga, while Man City star Rodri is being eyed as a potential replacement for Tchouameni.

“Ancelotti continues to trust his student. Mainly because he sees that he is the most prepared player in the team to carry out the tasks he asks of the pivot. Camavinga, the elite’s favorite player, does not convince him as an anchor and if he has to choose, he is more inclined to opt for Valverde.

” But Ancelotti, like the others, sees that Tchouameni’s level has dropped. The team is paying dearly for his inconsistency and some point to it as one of the weak points in the defensive drama that is already common every weekend of these first months from 2024-25.

“In disagreement with Ancelotti, the club prefers Camavinga to Tchouameni. The board of directors, with Florentino at the head, prefers to rely on the former Stade Rennais player for this position.

“Another name that is talked about in the corridors is that of Rodri, who won the Ballon d’Or last Monday. The Madrid native is on the radar, although his knee injury has lowered expectations.

“Managers and coaches love the Manchester City midfielder, whose contract with the English team ends in 2026. They see the solution to the problems so visible today.”
