Real Madrid star lifts lid on ‘discussions’ with Liverpool after €100m deal was not completedReal Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has lifted the lid on “discussions” that he had with Liverpool prior to his summer move to La Liga from Monaco.The 2018 World Cup winners are without Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante for this tournament so Tchouameni will likely be relied upon in midfield.
He has been able to establish himself as one of the best young midfielders in Europe and Real Madrid moved to sign him ahead of several competitors.Real Madrid were not the only club in for Tchouameni though as Liverpool were also known to be admirers of him. He has confirmed that Liverpool “came forward first” but his “choice was made” once Real Madrid appeared on the scene.“Then Real arrived. And in my head everything was clear. It was Real and not another. It’s the biggest club in the world.“When Paris showed up, my choice was already made, even if I was happy to be approached by PSG.”
Speaking in the summer, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano predicted that there will be a “crazy fight” for Bellingham, who shone in his World Cup debut against Iran on Monday.“As of today, their plan is to focus on the new midfielder, and they want the top midfielder for next summer, the summer of 23,”“They wanted Tchouameni this summer. He had some conversations with Jurgen Klopp. So Liverpool was really trying for Tchouameni, but then in the end he decided to join Real Madrid.
