Liverpool must act fast: Man United ready to steal most-wanted star Liverpool are going to have to be quick here. Manchester United are looking to steal a long-term target. It was reported on Tuesday by the Telegraph that Manchester United were looking to sign Aurelien Tchouameni.
Wednesday has seen more reporting on that, with BBC Sport claiming he’s wanted by the club. Speculation is growing that Tchouameni could leave Real Madrid this summer, especially as they hope to sign Rodri from Manchester City. Their UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich has brought about calls for a bit of an overhaul, particularly in midfield.
And so it sounds as though Tchouameni may end up being available here. United seem to think so, moving him up their shortlist. Tchouameni confirmed those talks himself, in fact, and Liverpool have continued to be linked ever since.
They’ve viewed him as the ideal defensive midfielder. However, they haven’t really used a sitting midfielder under Arne Slot. It seems the timing is off for a deal in 2026 as Liverpool don’t quite have the same need for such a player.
