It was two-and-a-half years ago that the Reds were pushing hard to try and sign Aurelien Tchouameni (then playing for Monaco), only for him to opt for the Bernabeu instead.
In recent days, one Spanish outlet reported that Anfield chiefs will enquire again about the 24-year-old ahead of their Champions League fixture against Los Blancos next Wednesday.
