Liverpool fans react as reports claim they are battling Rangnick for midfielder

By Will Butcher

Liverpool are reportedly interested in adding Monaco midfielder to Jurgen Klopp’s squad. However, the report states that if they do intensify their interest, they will be battling Manchester United – and Reds fans have reacted.

Liverpool are likely to be in the market for a midfielder. Naby Keita’s long-term future is one that is up in the air, while James Milner’s contract expires at the end of the season. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been linked with clubs.

So, 21-year-old Tchouameni has emerged onto Liverpool’s radar. David Ornstein reports on The Athletic that he is a player under consideration at Anfield – but that they could face competition from Manchester United.

Tchouameni is considered to be one of the best young midfielders in European football at this moment in time. Starring for Monaco, he has already clocked up 73 senior appearances – and seven caps for France.

What do Liverpool fans think of a potential Tchouameni move?

Firstly, it is clear that Liverpool do not need Tchouameni as much as Manchester United do. Ralf Rangnick’s side are crying out for better options than Fred, Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic. Paul Pogba is out of contract in June.

Liverpool fans have had their say on Twitter. Many think the signing of the French ace would be a wonderful bit of business. One supporter has even suggested getting rid of Thiago, in order to bring Tchouameni to Anfield.
