Liverpool have kept communication lines open with the entourage of Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, according to reports from ESPN FC's Transfer Talk.

The French international has been on Liverpool's radar as the club explore midfield reinforcements, with the Merseyside outfit maintaining a watching brief on the Real Madrid star's situation at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Tchouaméni has established himself as one of the most sought-after defensive midfielders in European football since his move to Real Madrid from AS Monaco in 2022. His ability to screen the backline and drive forward with the ball has made him an attractive target for top clubs across the continent.

Whether Liverpool will push for a formal bid remains to be seen, but the ongoing contact with his representatives signals that the Reds are serious about exploring the possibility of bringing the midfielder to Anfield.
