Monaco gives Liverpool green light for star player pursuit as report drops major transfer update

AS Monaco are said to have drafted a list of prospective replacements for Aurelie Tchouameni ahead of the summer transfer window, with the club increasingly accepting that their star man will leave at the end of the season.

As per Football Insider, the publication reports,  noting that the Reds face competition from fellow league rivals Manchester City and Chelsea for the player’s signature.

Potential suitors should expect to dig deep into their budgets to bring the Frenchman to the English top-flight after a fantastic season with the Ligue 1 club.

According to the famous football journalist, Fabrizio Romano, this will likely mean any interested party is expected to sign off on a fee in excess of £37.7m.

That isn’t necessarily an issue for Liverpool, with the £40-50 million mark theoretically viable for our recruitment squad; but, anything above that could force the reds away from the table.

Given that the holding midfielder is widely regarded as one of the game’s brightest prospects, it’s probably a deal Liverpool can’t afford to miss out.
