Liverpool Gets back at Florentino over Arnold: Monumental Anger in Madrid

The huge annoyance Real Madrid has had over a recent move made by Liverpool

The relationship between Real Madrid and Liverpool has been getting tense over the past few weeks. The British team, which has been interested in Tchouaméni's services, has finally made an offer for him. However, to Florentino Pérez's surprise, this offer has been well below the expected value.

Liverpool has offered 50 million euros for Tchouaméni, with an initial payment of 35 millions and 15 additional next season. This low offer has been the British reply to Real Madrid's low offer for Arnold. This offer has been extremely poorly received by the team, causing anger throughout the club.

Being a clear sign of disrespect, Tchouaméni's move to Liverpool has become filled with complications. Still, the operation for Arnold hasn't been strongly affected, with Madrid maintaining its interest in the right wing.

Liverpool's reply

One of the players who has received the most criticism this season is Tchouaméni. The Frenchman, who was expected to establish himself as the midfield's cornerstone, has been well below expectations. This led Madrid to decide to listen to offers for the 24-year-old midfielder.

With a contract until 2028, the club hopes to receive a good offer to finalize the Frenchman's departure. This is why Liverpool's offer has caused annoyance, with the English seeking the transfer for a value lower than what Real Madrid is seeking.

While this is a reply to the offer for Arnold, the situation of both players is completely different. With only six more months on his contract, it's understandable that Real Madrid won't look to spend several million on the Englishman.

Tchouaméni's situation

After the offer presented by Liverpool, Tchouaméni's future remains quite uncertain. Despite being on the list of possible departures, this situation can be leveraged by the Frenchman to regain the team's trust.
