La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have offered over €80 million to secure the services of Aurelien Tchouameni, a target for Liverpool and PSG.
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Spanish giants Real Madrid have stepped up their efforts to land Aurelien Tchouameni by offering AS Monaco over €80 million for him. The 22-year-old midfielder is also a target for Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain over a move in the summer transfer window.
Aurelien Tchouameni is one of the hottest properties in the market this summer after a solid 2021/22 season. The campaign was memorable for the Frenchman, who made his international debut last year. At the same time, he guided AS Monaco to a top-three finish, meaning the principality club will have the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League next term.
The 22-year-old has turned out 95 times for the Ligue 1 outfit in the last two and a half years, establishing himself as one of the best young midfielders in Europe. But Tchouameni could embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, and PSG keen on securing his services.
The interest from Real Madrid stems from the advancing years of their legendary midfield trio. With Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde already in the first-team squad and ready to form the next long-term midfield core, the addition of Tchouameni can help Real Madrid ensure a seamless transition into the next generation.
As for Liverpool, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Thiago Alcantara are in their thirties, with Milner in the twilight of his illustrious career. Tchouameni has thus emerged as a viable target for Leeds, with his qualities making him a natural successor for Henderson.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Real Madrid could run the risk of facing a hijack from PSG in the pursuit of Tchouameni. Les Parisiens do need to bolster their midfield, which has been their major weakness in the last few years. And Tchouameni could be the solution if he pairs up with Marco Verratti.

With Tchouameni keen on joining Real Madrid, an €80 million move to Real Madrid could be on the cards unless things change drastically.
