Liverpool have reportedly made contact with a Ligue 1 club regarding a midfielder

Liverpool are keen on signing Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to Tuttojuve.

The report states that the Reds have made contact with the Ligue 1 club regarding the 21-year-old's situation.

Tchouameni's contract expires in the summer of 2024, which means that he can't depart Monaco on a free transfer anytime soon.

The report claims that Tchouameni could be allowed to leave Stade Louis II for a transfer fee of £42 million. However, Chelsea are willing to bid £52 million to secure the midfielder.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We would love to see Liverpool sign Tchouameni. The midfielder is a talented footballer.

Tchouameni has found the back of the net five times and registered four assists in 65 appearances for Monaco. The Frenchman is also averaging a WhoScored player rating of 7.14 in the early stages of the 2021-22 Ligue 1 campaign.

The aforementioned figures highlight that Tchouameni would add quality and depth to the Reds' midfield.

Only time will tell if Liverpool are to make an official offer for the youngster.
