Arsenal and Liverpool get £85m transfer boost with Kylian Mbappe's future in spotlight

Arsenal and Liverpool could get a surprise £85million deal for Federico Valverde or Aurelien Tchouameni with Real Madrid hoping to raise funds to buy Kylian Mbappe. Reports in the Spanish media claim that Los Blancos are willing to sell either of the midfielders this summer. 

Madrid are desperate to finally complete a long-pursued move for France star Mbappe. They realise that they might finally get their chance to pounce over the coming months, with the attacker seemingly likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Spanish journalist Juan Ignacio G-Ochoa, the La Liga giants will make Valverde and Tchouameni available at around £68-85m. Arsenal and Liverpool have both been linked with the duo. 

While a £68-85m outlay on either would take up a huge portion of both clubs’ remaining budgets, signing either player would complete their respective midfield rejuvenations.
