As per journalist, Paul Gorst, Liverpool remain interested in signing Tchouameni from Madrid to reinforce the midfield. He told The Redmen TV:

“I wouldn’t totally write it off. When Liverpool like a player they like a player. They’ve identified the player, a player who’s gone on to win Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, gone on to captain France. He’s a top player and interest in top players don’t just dissipate”.

In the last international break, the 24-year-old wore the captain’s arm-band in the UEFA Nations League fixtures against Belgium and Israel.
