Real Madrid is going through a tough time, seeking qualification for the Champions League round of 16 after conquering the top spot in LaLiga. However, amid these challenges, other issues loom on the horizon of the club, such as the future of some key players.
Among them is the French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, whose performance in recent matches has raised doubts and could signal his departure from the white team. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé, PSG's star, is closely watching the developments at Santiago Bernabéu.
A Real Madrid with a European Focus
After snatching the lead from its eternal rival Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid must now focus on its European commitments. In the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti's team finds itself in a complex situation.
Currently, it occupies the twentieth position in its group, four points away from the direct qualification zone for the round of 16. With many teams ahead, qualifying for the next phase seems complicated, but Madrid doesn't give up.
The team will seek to win all remaining matches to secure a spot and face more accessible opponents in the play-offs.
Tchouaméni's Situation
One of the names causing the most concern in Real Madrid's locker room is Aurélien Tchouaméni. The French midfielder, who is one of the pillars in Carlo Ancelotti's scheme, has seen his performance level drop in recent matches. Although he remains a regular starter, his mistakes and lack of consistency have drawn attention.
Despite his contract until 2028 and a value close to 100 million, Tchouaméni could be facing his last season in Madrid. The club sports management would be willing to listen to offers for the young midfielder. According to Diario Gol, Real Madrid could receive offers close to 80 million, which would be a good economic opportunity.
Liverpool: the Main Interested Party
Tchouaméni's performance has caused great interest in Europe, and several teams have shown their desire to sign him. However, Liverpool seems to be the club that has stood out the most in the race for his transfer.
The Reds are looking for a quality player to strengthen their midfield. The Frenchman would fit perfectly into the scheme Jürgen Klopp is trying to build.
Although there is no official offer yet, everything points to Liverpool making the first move in the coming weeks. The Premier League is positioning itself as a likely destination for Tchouaméni, although it can't be ruled out that other elite teams will also enter the race for his transfer.
