**Liverpool and Manchester United have both reportedly been “put on alert” as Aurelien Tchouameni has been told there are no guarantees over his future at Real Madrid.**
Before Los Blancos signed Tchouameni in 2022, Liverpool were heavily linked with a move bring him to Anfield, but were snubbed in favour of a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. He joined the Spanish outfit for £68.3m, leaving the Reds to reconsider their options.
This summer, it’s important for Liverpool to replenish their midfield options after a season which saw their midfielders struggle to cope with the intensity of competing in four tournaments.
Alexis Mac Allister looked particularly jaded, struggling to cope with the frenetic pace of the football calendar. He started the campaign without a full pre-season as Arne Slot and his medical staff nursed an injury he carried into the season that lingered from the 2025 Premier League title success. He now competes at the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, meaning his pre-season will once again be interrupted.
Ryan Gravenberch played 36 of 38 Premier League games and is also at the World Cup. After a season in which he looked tired, it’s important that Liverpool give him a proper rest before he takes part in new head coach Andoni Iraola’s intensive system.
