Real Madrid are ‘confident’ of landing Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni despite reported interest from Liverpool and Chelsea, according to reports in Spain.

They also claim the two clubs have made progress in negotiations over the last few weeks, although there is still work to be done on agreeing a fee. Monaco are thought to value their player at slightly more than £50million. 

Los Blancos chief scout Juni Calafat is said to have followed Tchouameni’s progress for months, and the club are ‘fully confident’ of making the deal happen given the player’s ‘desire to join the 13-time European champions’.

If he signs, Tchouameni would likely be a long-term midfield successor to the likes of Luka Modric, 36, Toni Kroos, 32 and Casemiro, 30.

Real Madrid fans would hope he forms a fearsome potential triumvirate alongside compatriot Eduardo Camavinga, 19, and Federico Valverde, 23.

Reports in France state Jurgen Klopp’s Reds and Thomas Tuchel’s Blues are also interested in signing the eight-cap France international.

Monaco’s asking price is likely to be high as Tchouameni’s former club Bordeaux are due 20 per cent of any future sell-on fee.
