Reds midfielder racing to travel to Merseyside
Aurelien Tchouameni chose Real Madrid over Liverpool in the summer of 2022 but the move has not worked out for him so far.
He was whistled off by the home fans in Real Madrid’s 3-1 defeat to AC Milan earlier this month and he has missed the last few games due to an ankle injury.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the Frenchman and are said to have received the green signal to sign him in the summer.
The midfielder was expected to miss the Liverpool game but according to AS, he is racing to get fit for the clash at Anfield.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
It has been claimed that the midfielder is working hard to get back to full fitness and is pushing to travel to Liverpool for the Champions League game next week.
The Frenchman is not happy at Real Madrid but is keen to prove that he is a player who can perform on the biggest of stages.
A good performance at Anfield next week could further tempt the Reds to push for this signing in the summer transfer window.
