Liverpool, in its search for reinforcements for the season, made key moves during the past summer transfer window to incorporate two Real Madrid stars: Aurelien Tchouameni and Rodrygo Goes. Despite Arne Slot's team's attempts to secure the talented duo, negotiations did not progress as the Spanish club made it clear that neither player was for sale. Liverpool's ambition to strengthen its squad was evident, but they encountered a difficult barrier at the Santiago Bernabéu.

For months, the Reds have been analyzing the market for players who can elevate their team's level and fill potential gaps, especially considering the uncertainty about the future of figures like Mohamed Salah. Both Tchouameni and Rodrygo fit perfectly into Slot's plans, with the Frenchman being a key player to strengthen the midfield and the Brazilian emerging as a future offensive star. However, Real Madrid's intentions to keep these players as a fundamental part of their project thwarted any progress in the discussions.

-Aurelien Tchouameni: Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni was one of Slot's main priorities. Since his arrival in Madrid, the young Frenchman has proven to be a crucial piece in the midfield, with the ability to play as a defensive pivot and provide stability in the center. Liverpool, in urgent need of reinforcing this area, saw in Tchouameni the ideal solution to their problems, especially after the departures of players like Jordan Henderson. However, Real Madrid made it clear that they were not willing to part with their young prospect.

-Rodrygo Goes: On the other hand, Rodrygo Goes, with his speed and one-on-one ability, was also a target for the Reds, who seek to secure a quality replacement for the future. Although the Brazilian continues to develop in Madrid's first team, Slot saw him as a potential long-term successor to Salah. Nevertheless, Carlo Ancelotti emphasized Rodrygo's importance to the merengue scheme, especially with the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé on the horizon, raising doubts about his role in the team.
