Liverpool could break the bank for a Real midfielder as early as January.

Liverpool returned to the lead of the Premier League after a tricky 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion Saturday afternoon. The goals of Cody Steel and of Mohamed Salah allowed the reds to secure three important points in the race for the Premier League title. Especially since Manchester City was beaten by Bournemouth and thatArsenal lost to Newcastle on the same day.

Now it could be even more exciting news for Arne Slot's team. Liverpool would be interested in the French midfielder and Real Madrid: Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Liverpool could strike hard during the winter transfer window by reviving their interest in Tchouaméni. With January approaching, the Reds are looking to consolidate their squad to stay in the title race. That would be a huge sign of intent, if that were the case.

Liverpool to pay record sum for midfielder?

According to Teamtalka transfer from Tchouaméni remains possible although ambitious. If Real Madrid would be willing to listen to offers, who acquired him for 80 million euros in 2022. Liverpool should pay at least 100 million pounds to complete the operationthus marking a record for the club However, the age of the French midfielder, 24, fits with Liverpool's strategy, which targets promising talents for the future.

Tchouaméni argued 10 of 11 La Liga matches this season under Carlo Ancelotti. His departure would only be possible if Real Madrid finds a replacement of equivalent quality.

This is where the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool could also come into play. The Englishman is yet to sign a new contract at the club, and Real Madrid are also interested in signing him.

The Three Lions defender has also played in midfield for his country and Liverpool. However, his profile is completely different from that of Tchouaméni and it wouldn't be available until at least this summer.
