Liverpool want to sign Jurgen Klopp's dream target

Liverpool are probably going to have an entirely new-look squad when they kick off their 2026-27 campaign.

Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are already guaranteed to not be a part of their plans with both players choosing to exit Anfield on free transfers at the end of the current season.

Richard Hughes' future has also been under question with the potential exits of players such as Alexis Mac Allister also on the horizon.

However, with all these departures, players will obviously need to be brought in to fill the gaps that are left by those who leave.

And, since the summer transfer window is just around the corner, rumours are starting to emerge with the latest one being rather interesting.

Liverpool are still interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni

Before Aurelien Tchouameni chose to join Real Madrid back in 2022, Jurgen Klopp was interested in acquiring his services for Liverpool.

The midfielder burst onto the scene while playing for AS Monaco with several European giants vying for his transfer.

And, even though he chose to join Los Blancos, that ever stopped Klopp from talking about how good the Frenchman actually was and, seemingly, Liverpool have never even taken their eyes off of him.

That is, according to an update from Caught Offside who share that the Anfield outfit are still interested in signing Tchouameni.

"I can add, by the way, that Liverpool also still have an interest in Tchouameni, dating back to when they were really keen to sign him from Monaco," they wrote.

"Again, this is not exactly surprising and doesn’t mean a move is happening, but things can change quickly in football.

"So if Los Blancos decide they want to make a few sales under a new manager, then we can expect United and Liverpool to be sniffing around for Tchouameni."

Liverpool signing Aurelien Tchouameni would show that they mean business

Liverpool's midfield is in need of a revamp.

Even though players such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch are world-class players, it's clear that something is missing each time Slot lines his team up.

Curtis Jones often provides something different when he's called upon but, since Slot doesn't really seem to trust him, it's unclear whether he's going to seek pastures new or not.

The addition of Tchouameni would show that Liverpool are committed to becoming the best team in the world once again and that they'd be ready to spend big to do so.

Indeed, their attacking line is also going to be a bit of a problem for them but, if they do end up having the option to prise Tchouameni from the Bernabeu, it's one that they should take without a second thought.
