Liverpool are linked with a move for promising Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni but the club’s sporting director, Paul Mitchell, has indicated it would take big money for the French side to sell.
Tchouameni has impressed this season and has emerged as a target for several of Europe’s top clubs for the summer.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in taking him to England and even Juventus have their eyes on getting their hands on the French midfielder at the end of the season.
Mitchell highlighted how Monaco will take a look at the midfielders situation come the end of the season.

“The market possibilities are endless and in July, we will take stock of the situation by analysing, first and foremost, how we will have finished the season,” the Monaco sporting director told Italian daily Tuttosport.
“It should be remembered that the boy has a contract that binds him to Monaco until 2024.
“And his evaluation is definitely worth big money.
“In Monte Carlo, everything costs a lot and let’s say that Tchouameni is as expensive as a big casino.”
The 21-year-old has already played 70 times for Monaco and has seven appearances for France to his name.
