# Liverpool: Fabrizio Romano drops Aurelien Tchouameni transfer claim

**Rumoured Liverpool transfer target Aurelien Tchouameni is wanted by two unnamed Premier League clubs, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Tchouameni a huge talent

The 22-year-old has emerged as arguably one of the best young midfielders in the world, performing with quality and maturity beyond his years.

Tchouameni has made [25 starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni) for Monaco in Ligue 1 this season, winning 2.4 aerial duels per game and also being [described](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9975843/Paul-Pogba-heaps-praise-extraordinary-Manchester-United-target-Aurelien-Tchouameni.html) as ‘extraordinary’ by international colleague Paul Pogba.

Liverpool have been [linked](https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2022/03/18/62345a8d22601d55778b45df.html) with a move for the Frenchman, and Romano has now shed new light on the player’s transfer status.

### The Latest: Romano provides update on Tchouameni

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1508048300787867656?s=20&t=Tyb4QpPiyh4XnmOUy5OSwQ) over the weekend, Romano confirmed that a couple of Premier League clubs want to sign Tchouameni, along with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. He revealed:

> “Aurelien Tchouameni’s agent has denied to Le Parisien any agreement on personal terms with Real Madrid.
>
> “Real are following Tchouameni’s performances with Monaco since long time alongside two Premier League clubs and PSG but there’s nothing agreed with any club.”

### The Verdict: Wonderful potential signing

Tchouameni looks like a spectacular talent, mastering a deeper-lying midfield role and already proving to be such a key player for Monaco, ranking as by far their best performer according to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/248/Show/France-Monaco) metrics.

With some of Liverpool’s midfielders now in their 30s – the likes of Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are close to that milestone, too – the 22-year-old could be an ideal summer addition, capable of playing in a [defensive or central midfield role](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/MatchStatistics/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni).

Not only does Tchouameni average an eye-catching [2.6 tackles and interceptions](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni) apiece per match this season, he also averaged a [90.9%](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni) pass completion rate across five appearances for France in World Cup qualifying, demonstrating that he is a midfielder of many talents.
