Carlo Ancelotti could block Liverpool loan deal for Aurelien Tchouameni

Liverpool could reignite their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, according to reports.

Much to Jurgen Klopp's displeasure, Tchouameni moved to the Bernabeu last summer, signing from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

But the 23-year-old has struggled for regular game time as of late, prompting Liverpool to rekindle their interest.

With Jude Bellingham tipped for a move to Los Blancos, and Luka Modric and Toni Kroos expected to extend their contracts, Tchouameni's place in the team is under serious threat.

The France international was dropped for the first leg of Real's Champions League semi-final clash against Manchester City, suggesting he is not at the forefront of Carlo Anceloitti's plans.

While the uncertainty surrounding Tchouameni's situation has reportedly led Liverpool to consider a loan, as Klopp looks to refresh his ageing midfield.

Tchouameni to Liverpool?

The majority of Liverpool's problems this season have been attributed to their midfield, with Klopp expected to be given financial backing to fix their issues this summer.

In April, Liverpool stuck a pin in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham due to the huge transfer fees involved.

Real Madrid have now emerged as frontrunners to sign him this summer which could have an affect on Tchouameni's plans.

Klopp is thought to remain a huge admirer of the midfielder, and would be open to a loan move should the opportunity arise.

However, 90min report that Ancelotti could block any potential loan, believing that Tchouameni is content in his current role.

The report states: "Real Madrid hierarchy do not intend to let the France international leave and the player himself has not displayed any signs of discontent."
