And so their summer transfer plans now involve Mourinho, who is busy picking out the kind of squad he needs. Cope<\/a> reports that he wants a new defensive midfielder, for instance, and specifically Morten Hjulmand<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hjulmand, who is at Sporting CP, has been linked with clubs all over Europe. It seems Real Madrid may push to sign him this summer, however.<\/p>\n And that will set off alarm bells at Anfield. Liverpool may not have a strong interest in Hjulmand but they are long-term admirers of two midfielders at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n Both Aurelien Tchouameni<\/a> and Eduardo Camavinga<\/a> have been heavily linked in the past. Tchouameni has openly talked about nearly joining the Reds back in 2022 in an interview with Le Parisien<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Well, the door opens here. Tchouameni could reportedly leave Real Madrid this summer, with the Telegraph<\/a> claiming Manchester United<\/a> are interested in him.<\/p>\n Liverpool have a chance to get involved here<\/a>, too. They need a new defensive midfielder to solidify their midfield and Tchouameni will certainly be available if Mourinho gets his way and signs Hjulmand.<\/p>\n Watch this space.<\/p>\n Aurelien Tchouameni: Situation Summary<\/p>\n Real Madrid Performance and Bust-Up<\/p>\n As of 20 May 2026, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni is enduring a turbulent period at Real Madrid.
