Aurelien Tchouameni
PSG have set their sights on Aurelien Tchouameni, according to Defensa Central. The French midfielder has struggled to impress this season and Real Madrid are apparently ready to end his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Tchouameni was initially brought in to replace the legendary Casemiro at the club in 2022. The player has failed to live up to the job so far and Los Blancos are apparently looking for an upgrade.
Despite his recent struggles, there's no dearth of interest in the player's services at the moment. Liverpool and Arsenal reportedly hold an interest in the Frenchman, and the Parisians have now entered the race.
The Ligue 1 champions are planning to build a backbone of French players in their team and see Tchouameni as a good fit to their plans. Luis Enrique is not entirely convinced by the player, though, which could pose a threat to PSG's plans.
Meanwhile, the LaLiga champions have publicly maintained that the Frenchman won't be sold. However, it is believed that an offer in the region of €80-85m could convince them to let him go. Tchouameni, though, is eager to stay at Real Madrid and fight for his place in the team.

Milos Kerkez
Real Madrid have entered the race for Milos Kerkez, according to Real Madrid Confidencial. The Hungarian left-back has caught the eye with Bournemouth of late, registering one goal and two assists from 14 games across competitions.
The 21-year-old is under contract at the Vitality Stadium until 2028, but could be on the move at the end of this season. Los Blancos are looking for a new left-back amid the struggles of Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia.
While Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies is the preferred target at the Santiago Bernabeu, the club are keeping their options open. Kerkez has been identified as a possible alternative to the Canadian. However, the Spanish champions will face competition from Manchester United for the Hungarian.

Trent Alexander-Arnold
Manchester City, Barcelona, and PSG are all eyeing Trent Alexander-Arnold with interest, according to Caught Offside. The English right-back's contract with Liverpool is set to expire in just over six months and speculation is ripe regarding his next move.
Real Madrid have apparently identified him as a possible replacement for Dani Carvajal. The Spanish right-back is already on the wrong side of 30 and is currently sidelined with an ACL injury.
The LaLiga champions are reportedly eyeing a Bosman move for Alexander-Arnold next summer to strengthen the position. However, Manchester City want the 26-year-old as Kyle Walker's successor at the Etihad.
Meanwhile, PSG, and Barcelona are also interested in the Englishman. However, the report adds that Alexander-Arnold would prefer to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
