      by

      LIVERPOOL are lining up a stunning £70million move for Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni with the Spaniards targeting Jude Bellingham, according to reports.

      Tchouameni has impressed during his debut campaign in the Spanish capital and was part of the side that won the Club World Cup in February.
      The Frenchman was also on the scoresheet as France beat England 2-1 in the World Cup quarter final in Qatar.
      Despite only joining Carlo Ancelotti’s side last summer, in a deal reportedly worth in excess of £85m, Spanish outlet El Nacional have reported the midfielder could be on the move again with Liverpool planning a similar move.
      The report also adds that Tchouameni has been “slower than expected” in adapting to life in Madrid, but he is highly thought of by the club’s hierarchy, who could be unwilling to let him go.

      Liverpool are looking to revamp their midfield in the summer and have been strongly linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham but face stiff competition from Europe’s top sides.
      Whomever the six time European champions decide to bring in, improving the midfield will be vital as they look to rebuild next season following a very disappointing campaign to date.
      Bellingham isn’t the only name Jurgen Klopp’s side hold interest in with Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Wolves’ Matheus Nunes also being linked with a move to Anfield.
      After thrashing Manchester United 7-0 last month, they lost three matches in a row before taking a point with a goalless draw against Chelsea.

      Club legend Frank Lampard has been put in charge of the side until the end of the season.

      The likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique have been mooted as possible candidates.

      Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos are both out of contract at the end of the season.

      Ancelotti won the double with the Blues in 2010, but left the following season after a trophyless campaign in which they finished second in the Premier League behind Manchester United.

      I snubbed Real Madrid because of their bizarre contract clauses that banned me from going paragliding

      But he would have been banned from various activities – including skiiingCredit: Not known, clear with picture desk
      Having proved himself as one of the top marksmen in world football, the fact he was going to be available on a free transfer meant there was a fight on for his signature.
      And incredible leaked documents reveal the specific offer Real Madrid put to Lewandowski.
      He was offered around £166,000-a-week to go to the Bernabeu – as well as a hefty £10million signing-on fee.
      However, the offer came with some eye-catching clauses.

      Should he have joined Real Madrid, Lewandowski would have been banned contractually from skiing, paragliding, climbing, going on a motorboat or even riding a motorbike.
      It’s not totally clear how much those clauses swayed Lewandowski’s decision, but he ultimately ended up signing for Bayern Munich instead.
      Real Madrid’s failure to sign the Champions League winner came back to bite them.
      Over the next eight years, the ripped superstar would score a whopping 344 goals in 375 games for the German giants.
