Liverpool waiting his best chance to move for Real Madrid's midfielder

Many prees reports suggests that Liverpool FC is waiting his best chance to pounce on Real Maadrid's midfielder Aurelian Tchouameni even though the White Club has given him a new long term contract.

according to Caughtoffside, when Madrid embarked on their sweeping summer overhaul, the writing seemed to be on the wall for Tchouameni — an exit looked inevitable. But then came the conversations with José Mourinho, and whatever was said behind closed doors proved persuasive enough to flip the script entirely. The Frenchman chose to stay, putting pen to paper on a fresh deal.

That, however, hasn't dimmed Liverpool's hopes one bit. According to TeamTalk, the Anfield outfit "have maintained communication with the player's camp" throughout — keeping the line open, waiting for their moment.

Liverpool to wait for Tchouaméni

Everything now hinges on how the story unfolds in the Spanish capital. Should Tchouameni drift to the margins, should Mourinho's promises prove hollow, then a parting of ways remains entirely plausible — contract or no contract. The midfield at Madrid, after all, is a crowded battlefield, and standing room is limited.

Graeme Bailey puts it plainly: "Tchouameni would not be prepared to accept a role as merely a squad player at the Santiago Bernabeu."

Flip the scenario, though — let the project gather momentum, let Tchouameni reclaim his place at the heart of things — and Liverpool's task becomes a riddle with no obvious answer. How exactly would they sell him on a move then?

For the moment, though, the Reds are biding their time rather than forcing the issue. Tchouameni, for his part, remains a Real Madrid man, freshly contracted and going nowhere — for now.
