Liverpool have reportedly had initial contacts as they line up an ambitious double transfer move for Real Madrid duo Rodrygo Goes and Aurelien Tchouameni.

The pair are hugely important players for Los Blancos and it’s hard to imagine them being allowed to leave any time soon, though that seemingly hasn’t stopped the Reds from at least trying to get some form of dialogue going, according to Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes.

Liverpool fans will be excited by this update as Rodrygo could be a game-changing signing up front, giving the club just the upgrade they need on the inconsistent Darwin Nunez, while Mohamed Salah might also need replacing soon as he’s nearing the end of his contract at Anfield.

The Tchouameni links are also interesting, as there’s no doubt the France international is a top class player who might’ve seemed useful to LFC at one point, though that’s perhaps now more debatable.

Arne Slot already has plenty of depth in midfield in the form of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo, so it’s not clear if it makes sense to prioritise someone like Tchouameni at this stage.
