Real Madrid £60m bid might have just helped Liverpool unleash new midfield

Liverpool are looking to add fresh legs to their midfield department this summer. With the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and James Milner now over 30 years-old, a new addition is very much on Jurgen Klopp's agenda.

Aurelien Tchouameni has been reported as the club's primary target, although it remains to be seen as to whether the Reds will land his signature. Real Madrid are also chasing the AS Monaco talent - Spanish media claiming a £60m bid has been lodged - and after losing out on Kylian Mbappe last week, they are determined to avoid defeat in yet another transfer battle.

The French midfielder would have been a fine capture for Liverpool. He has proved to be a well-rounded performer in the middle of the park in recent times, seemingly possessing few weaknesses while showcasing an ability to thrive on the defensive side of the game.
