Madrid will look to strengthen their team after missing out on both <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/21\/kylian-mbappe-staying-paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_self\">Kylian Mbappe<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/09\/manchester-city-erling-haaland-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">Erling Haaland<\/a>. The 21-year-old midfielder makes <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/16\/real-madrid-aurelien-tchouameni\/\" target=\"_self\">perfect sense<\/a> for Real. His profile and age make him a top candidate to replace any of the three long-serving midfielders in Real&#8217;s starting 11.\u00a0 Alongside fellow countryman Eduardo Camavinga, Tchouam\u00e9ni can thrive in a double pivot or as a box-to-box ahead of a more defensive-minded midfielder.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">Respuesta r\u00e1pida, \u00bfCrees que Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni fichar\u00e1 por el Real Madrid?<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfS\u00cd O NO? \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DIYumMZ4c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/DIYumMZ4c3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 REAL MADRID\u2764\ufe0f (@AdriRM33) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdriRM33\/status\/1528442407171538944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Interest<\/h3>\n<p>Liverpool lost Georginio Wijnaldum last season to Paris Saint-Germain and have yet to find a natural replacement. Thiago Alcantara previously came in to help settle the midfield and has done an excellent job this season. Unfortunately, both Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara have been injury-prone throughout their careers. This has hindered Klopp&#8217;s team selection having to play the aging James Milner in midfield at times. Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni would come in and provide depth and athleticism that are so desperately lacking from the Liverpool midfield.<\/p>\n<h3>PSG Interest<\/h3>\n<p>PSG have just pulled off the renewal of Kylian Mbappe. They are overseeing some changes at the club, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino and sporting director Leonardo said to leave. That is likely to represent a change in direction and they might fancy bringing in Mbappe&#8217;s French teammate, who holds high potential. Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni has played with France a couple of times and has impressed each time. PSG would also be looking to strengthen their midfield and provide some balance in a top-heavy team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid are pushing to sign Monaco midfielder Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni, according to Santi Aouna.
