Tchouameni accepts Klopp's offer, but wants to wear legend's number, not 10

After an outstanding season at Brighton and a good participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Alexis MacAlister is of interest to Liverpool and would be one of the first to arrive for next season. Negotiations could be concluded before the formal start of the transfer window. Brighton are clear that the idea of the World Cup winner is to emigrate and to be able to join one of the biggest clubs in European football. For this reason, they will not be put, although they expect the transaction to be close to the amount of 60 million euros. In addition, his special request would be to wear the number 10 left vacant by Sadio Mane.

The Premier League season has not been one of the best for Liverpool, to the point that they will be fighting until the end to get into the UEFA Champions League places for next season. Against this backdrop, Jurgen Klopp has the backing of the board and wants to 'revolutionise' the squad with some signings in the summer transfer window and get back to the big time. The German coach has set his sights on Real Madrid and wants to tempt the transfer of Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Relegated to the substitutes' bench in recent matches, his return from the Qatar 2022 World Cup showed a noticeable change in performance. Ancelotti did not make problems for himself and no longer considers him as a starter. Camavinga's versatility has given him a certain advantage to play as a midfielder -when attacking- and left-back -when defending- as indicated by 'Carletto' himself.

<strong>the number of the legend</strong>

However, Klopp has not forgotten about Tchouaméni and wants to try again to sign him. This is what the English press claims, which even explains that Liverpool are willing to pay 80 million euros, which is what it cost Real Madrid to sign the Frenchman. For the moment, no official negotiations have begun, although they are not slow to express their interest in the coming weeks. For Liverpool, he would be a perfect fit for the structure they want to mould at Anfield Road. The 'Reds' are aware that they need to renew names if they want to compete again against Manchester City and United for next season. According to several sources, the Frenchman would ask to use Steven Gerrard's number 8 that Naby Keita now has, but that he will leave once he leaves the team.
