Liverpool's long-running interest in Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is reportedly still alive, despite the club repeatedly hitting the same roadblock, according to EPL Index.
The report suggests the Frenchman remains firmly on Liverpool's radar, but Real Madrid's stance on the player continues to frustrate any progress. Sporting director Julian Ward is said to be facing a familiar sense of déjà vu, with the situation described as one of those transfer sagas that simply won't die down at Anfield.
While Tchouameni's quality and profile evidently fit what Liverpool are looking to add, the source indicates Madrid have shown no willingness to budge, leaving the Reds stuck chasing a target that appears out of reach for now.
There's no suggestion of any imminent breakthrough, and EPL Index frames this very much as an ongoing pursuit rather than a deal edging closer to completion. For Liverpool, it seems the Tchouameni pursuit remains more about persistence than progress at this stage.
