Liverpool keeps contact with Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni’s camp

Liverpool is maintaining contact with Aurélien Tchouaméni’s representatives as it keeps track of the Real Madrid midfielder, according to TEAMtalk’s Graeme Bailey. There is no active push to arrange a transfer, with the France international focused on establishing himself under José Mourinho. Liverpool remains alert to the possibility of signing a leading midfielder despite being pleased with the progress of Trey Nyoni and James McConnell. Keeping in touch with Tchouaméni’s camp would allow it to follow any change in his circumstances. His position at Madrid currently offers little encouragement to an immediate pursuit. Bailey reports that Tchouaméni wants to secure a first-choice role and has committed to a new long-term deal, while AS reported in July that he had agreed terms through 2031. Those reported contract arrangements would give Madrid substantial control over any future negotiation. Liverpool would need a clear indication that a transfer was possible before an ongoing relationship with his representatives could become a serious attempt to sign him. Tchouaméni turned 26 in January and has already accumulated experience at the highest level. Madrid’s official career review records his arrival from Monaco in 2022 and eight trophies by his birthday this year, including the Champions League and La Liga. He won his first Madrid trophy on his debut, in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt. Before moving to Spain, he had been selected twice in Ligue 1’s team of the season and named the division’s best young player for 2020-21. That record gives Liverpool an established player to assess alongside its developing midfielders. The footballing question would be how his experience and ability to protect the defense fit the balance it wants in the center of t

Barcelona monitors David Raum and Tyrick Mitchell for free transfers

Barcelona is monitoring David Raum and Tyrick Mitchell as potential additions when their contracts expire in 2027, according to SPORT in a report carried by Foot Mercato. The RB Leipzig and Crystal Palace left-backs are being assessed as possible free transfers. That would make January relevant for discussions over a future agreement, while an arrival without a transfer fee would follow at the end of the season. Raum’s availability is far from settled. The Bundesliga’s official website reported on September 5 that Leipzig planned to open talks over an extension later in the month, with sporting director Marcel Schäfer making clear that the club wanted to keep its captain. The Germany international took over the armband in 2025. By early September, he had contributed seven goals and 30 assists in 145 competitive appearances for Leipzig, a record that shows the attacking output Barcelona would be considering from the position. Mitchell would bring a different body of experience. The Palace academy graduate has established himself in English football, and the club’s official player profile credits him with 40 appearances during 2025-26. He has also attracted reported interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. That could give Palace competition beyond Barcelona if it cannot agree an extension with the defender. For Barcelona, the financial appeal would have to be weighed against wages, signing costs and the place available in the squad. A player arriving without a transfer fee still represents a substantial commitment, especially when an established international expects regular involvement. Any move would also depend on how Barcelona wants to organize its left side, where Alejandro Balde, João Cancelo and Xavi Espart feature among its current options. Raum’s f

AC Milan prepares fresh €40 million January move for Gonçalo Inácio

AC Milan is preparing to return for Gonçalo Inácio in January, with Sporting CP’s center-back still a priority for Ruben Amorim, according to Corriere dello Sport’s Antonio Vitiello. The proposed move would revive a transfer that broke down late in the summer window. The September 26 report says Sporting had accepted a fee of around €40 million before the deal stalled because it could not secure a replacement. Milan is expected to work from a similar figure when it renews its approach. Amorim helped establish Inácio in Sporting’s first team during the 2020-21 campaign and, according to the report, believes the defender has continued to improve since their time together. Their previous working relationship gives Milan a clear reason to revisit the target. Sporting has protected its position. The club extended Inácio’s contract through 2030 last December, keeping a player who joined its academy at 11 and went on to captain the senior side. By the time of that announcement, he had won every major domestic trophy in Portugal. That background would give Milan an experienced addition accustomed to the expectations of a title contender. Moving to Serie A would bring different opponents and a new defensive unit, although working with a familiar coach could help the transition. Record’s account of the Italian report puts Inácio’s release clause at €60 million. An agreement around the reported €40 million figure would require Sporting’s consent. Milan reintegrated Fikayo Tomori after the summer attempt failed, but still wants greater depth in central defense. Inácio would answer that need while giving Amorim a player whose strengths he already knows.
