Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid will reportedly sell Liverpool-linked Aurelien Tchouameni at the end of the season to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as per Spanish outlet Defensa Central. The Frenchman has struggled with consistency at Santiago Bernabeu and might be on his way out of the club.

His constant struggles with injuries have also been a major reason behind his decline in form in the recent couple of seasons. As a result, Los Blancos can potentially sell Tchouameni if they receive offers of around €80 to €85 million.

The French midfielder joined the Madrid outfit in July 2022 from Ligue 1 side Monaco for a reported transfer fee of €100 million. Since then, the 24-year-old has made 104 appearances for Real Madrid, bagging three goals and five assists across all competitions.

This season, he has played 16 matches for Los Blancos, without scoring any goal. Additionally, the former Monaco star has also missed five games due to injuries. As a result, Madrid are considering selling the Frenchman, and PSG are interested in signing Tchouameni in the upcoming transfer window.

However, Luis Enrique reportedly has reservations about the 24-year-old, which can put the deal on hold. Meanwhile, Arne Slot's Liverpool have been the longtime admirers of Aurelien Tchouameni.

Earlier this summer, the Reds wanted to sign Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi to fulfill the position of a defensive midfielder. However, the Spanish defender decided to stay in Sociedad. As a result, Tchouameni is currently the top target for the Reds.

Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid have reportedly joined the race to sign Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, as per Spanish outlet Real Madrid Confidencial. Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in signing the Hungarian defender.

Manchester United are keen to add Kerkez to the team as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have suffered from injuries in recent years. Meanwhile, Liverpool see the 21-year-old as the long-term replacement of Scottish captain Andy Robertson.

As per the aforementioned report, Los Blancos aim to sign Kerkez as an upgrade for Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia. However, the LaLiga giants have also been linked to Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, who will enter the last six months of his contract with the Bundesliga giants in January.

Milos Kerkez joined Bournemouth in July 2023 from Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar. Since then, he has made 47 appearances for the Cherries, scoring one and assisting three times.
