Liverpool have taken a key decision regarding the future of their current star. This has now provided Arsenal with a clear path to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid.
The Reds were heavily linked with Tchouameni in order to improve their midfield. They are long-term admirers of the 24 year old Frenchman. Liverpool first tried to sign him in 2022 but lost the race to Real Madrid.
Recently, there are reports that Madrid are willing to let Frenchman leave next year. The Spanish giants are not impressed with the performances of Frenchman. The 24 year old is currently playing as centre back to cover for injured defenders.
The Reds were once again linked with a move to Tchouameni as they desperately wanted a holding midfielder this summer. In addition, they were joined by Arsenal who too will need filling in that position.
Arsenal now have a clear path to sign Aurelien Tchouameni
Football Journalist Florian Plettenberg has recently tweeted Ryan Gravenberch will not leave Liverpool. The Dutch star is considered as a key asset by the club. There are no talks taking place about his move away from Anfield. Lastly, Plettenberg also shut down the swap deal rumours between Madrid and Liverpool.
🚨 Liverpool have NO INTENTION of selling Ryan Gravenberch or pursuing a swap deal with Real Madrid for Aurélien Tchouaméni.
The Dutchman is a key player and performer in Arne Slot's team.

Arsenal will now have less competition if they do decide to go after Tchouameni. They surely need filling in that position due to the current situation at the club. Both of the current Arsenal holding midfielders – Jorginho and Partey are set to leave the club as free agents at the end of the season.
Tchouameni seems like a perfect replacement to Partey. He has already displayed his quality at the highest stage of football. Gunners will have to spend big but they do have financial muscle to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they step up their interest in the January transfer window.
On the other hand, Madrid are showing interest in signing Enzo Fernandez. Earlier, the Argentine was not playing regularly and hence was linked with move away from Chelsea. But, now he is starting regular and is in top most form. Hence, it will prove too hard for Madrid to lure Enzo away frim Chelsea.
