PSG left the negotiations last weekend after the player’s urge to join the most successful European club in history although the French club was ready to offer more than the Spanish club. And rumours suggest their offer is close to, or may even exceed the 100 million euros mark.
Liverpool was also interested in Tchouameni and had direct contacts with his agents. Also, Jurgen Klopp personally called him but Real Madrid was strong in the negotiations after the deal collapsed for Kylian Mbappé.
