"Nobody knows this, but I brought Willock’s whole family to Istanbul.

"They even picked out a house, and they had video calls with Vincenzo Italiano and Onder [Ozen, the football director] at least ten times. Furthermore, we went to see the player in person twice.”

"He could sign in the mid-season. They asked for £20m. We can sign in January, and I will.

"Joe Willock was the player the coach wanted but was missing. We really need him there."

Liverpool maintain contact over Aurelien Tchouameni

Liverpool remain interested in Aurelien Tchouameni despite the midfielder signing a new long-term contract with Real Madrid.

According to TEAMtalk, the Reds have maintained communication with the France international’s camp after previously speaking to Real Madrid about a possible move. Liverpool ultimately decided against signing another midfielder during the summer.

Tchouameni remains committed to competing for his place under Jose Mourinho, but he would not be prepared to accept a purely rotational role at the Bernabeu. Liverpool could therefore revisit their interest if his situation changes.

For now, Liverpool are not actively pushing for a deal, while Tchouameni remains an important part of Madrid’s plans. However, the Reds continue to view the 26-year-old as a midfielder of the required calibre should circumstances change.
