Liverpool ‘submit £41m bid for Real Madrid star’ immediately after Man Utd draw

Liverpool have reportedly submitted a bid of £41 million for Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni following their disappointing 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Sunday.

Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes took a hit after what many consider their worst performance of the season. Anfield witnessed a lackluster display as United earned a deserved point through goals from Lisandro Martínez and Amad Diallo. Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool but couldn’t secure the win.

Liverpool’s Interest in Tchouaméni

According to Spanish outlet *Fichajes*, Liverpool have reignited their interest in Tchouaméni, a player they previously pursued before his move to Real Madrid. The 24-year-old Frenchman has been a standout performer for Los Blancos, making 21 appearances this season. His current market value is estimated at €80 million by *Transfermarkt*.

Liverpool’s £41 million bid is significantly below Tchouaméni’s valuation, making it uncertain whether Real Madrid would entertain such an offer. However, the Reds are eager to bolster their midfield, particularly after a performance that highlighted the need for reinforcements.

Tchouaméni has also been linked with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea, suggesting strong competition for his signature.

Slot’s Post-Match Reflections

After the draw, Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his frustration, emphasizing the missed opportunities to secure all three points. He highlighted Virgil van Dijk’s late chance to make it 3-2, contrasting it with Harry Maguire’s near miss for United.

Slot compared the match to Liverpool’s recent game against Nottingham Forest, noting similarities in the defensive tactics employed by the opposition. He remarked on United’s reliance on a low block and long balls, making it difficult for Liverpool to break through.

Upcoming Fixtures

Liverpool will aim to bounce back when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. The Reds will look to shake off the disappointment and return to winning ways as they continue their pursuit of silverware.
