According to reports, Liverpool are unwilling to use Ryan Gravenberch in a potential swap deal to sign Real Madrid defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. The 24-year-old Frenchman has often played as a centre-back under manager Carlo Ancelotti, due to injuries in the position.
This season, Tchouameni has played 20 games in all competitions, including the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. However, he hasn't been at his best, which has led to rumors about a move away for the 24-year-old, with Liverpool being touted as a potential destination.
The English giants are looking to sign a defensive midfielder and were interested in Tchouameni before he joined Los Blancos in 2022. The Reds are expected to make their move for Tchouameni in 2025.

Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold refuses latest contract offer amid interest from Real Madrid - Reports
Liverpool defender and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly unsatisfied with the contract terms offered by the club, amid interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are on the hunt for a long-term replacement for right-back Dani Carvajal and they have their sights set on Alexander-Arnold.
According to The Sun (via Tribal Football), the Reds have offered Alexander-Arnold a total of £250,000-a-week. The 26-year-old, however, is demanding £350,000-a-week, which would make him one of the highest-paid players at the club.
