With the likes of James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara all in their 30s, club insiders have been looking at the possibility of a marquee midfield addition at some stage over the next 12 months or so.

Reports in France after Sunday's 3-1 win against Wolves claimed that Tchouameni had agreed terms with both Liverpool and their fellow Champions League finalists Real following the close of play in the Premier League.

However, club sources insist the Reds have been informed by the player's representatives that he is joining the La Liga champions later this summer.
