Real Madrid asks for €60M and Liverpool agrees, Aurélien Tchouaméni makes it possible

Tchouaméni's growth since Xabi Alonso's arrival is having consequences that reach all the way to Liverpool

Real Madrid and Liverpool, two of the biggest teams in Europe, are experiencing similar situations this season. Arne Slot's team, despite having invested many millions in major signings, is 11 points behind Arsenal in the Premier League. Meanwhile, at Real Madrid, the last three setbacks have put Xabi Alonso under heavy scrutiny due to the enormous demands at Bernabéu.

It is clear that both teams need urgent changes to restore normalcy. Both Liverpool and Real Madrid have to shake things up to achieve good results again. In this regard, the transfer market presents itself as a meeting point to rebuild their sports projects.

Liverpool wants muscle and looks at Real Madrid

Liverpool desperately needs the arrival of a physical and dominant midfielder. Arne Slot considers it essential to bring in a player capable of adapting to the Premier League in record time. In this context, the top favorite has always been Aurélien Tchouaméni, a profile that fits perfectly with the needs of the English team.

However, Aurélien Tchouaméni's departure from Real Madrid is impossible. The Frenchman has become untouchable under Xabi Alonso's leadership, so Liverpool will have to change their target. His imposing presence in the midfield guarantees his future at Bernabéu for many years.

Aurélien Tchouaméni stays, but his friend is targeted by Liverpool

Given that Aurélien Tchouaméni won't leave Bernabéu, Liverpool has decided to change their candidate: now all eyes are on Eduardo Camavinga, his theoretical substitute. Real Madrid is considering selling the French midfielder if an offer of €60 million comes in. The club is concerned about his physical fragility and the fact that he hasn't managed to establish himself as a starter.

For all these reasons, Liverpool has seen a perfect opportunity to secure his services. Arne Slot knows he won't be able to take Aurélien Tchouaméni from Real Madrid, but he believes Eduardo Camavinga can perform a similar role. His energy, his range, and his ability to cover several positions appeal to Anfield's coaching staff.

Eduardo Camavinga's transfer could shape the market

We'll see if both clubs reach an agreement in the summer. Real Madrid is willing to negotiate for Eduardo Camavinga as long as the offer reaches €60 million. Liverpool, with an urgent need to renew pieces in their squad, seems ready to take the step.

It is important to highlight that Eduardo Camavinga's departure can only be understood by the hierarchy Aurélien Tchouaméni has achieved at Real Madrid. His consolidation as the leader of the midfield means his teammate is no longer essential. That's why, if Liverpool puts €60 million on the table, Camavinga could swap Bernabéu for Anfield.
