Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouamani, linked with Liverpool and Manchester United, insists that he is not in a rush to leave his current club.

Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has insisted that he is not in a rush to leave his current club amid the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.

The France international has again been in impressive form for his Ligue 1 side during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring three goals and registered two assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.

A number of clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, are believed to be interested in signing the midfielder, while Real Madrid have also been linked with his services.

However, the midfielder has said that he would be open to remaining at Monaco, who are currently preparing for Friday's trip to Lille.

Philippe Clement's side are fourth in Ligue 1, two points clear of fifth-placed Nice, while they are level on points with third-placed Rennes and three behind second-placed Marseille.

"I have a contract until 2024, with an option until 2025. We will see what the future holds for me," Tchouamani told reporters. "A lot of things can happen in the transfer window. There is my case and that of the other players, some of whom are at the end of their contracts and have other desires elsewhere.

"The most important thing is the Lille match, not what will happen after. Later, when everyone goes on holiday, we will see who will be here when everything resumes.

"Why not stay in the Champions League? Being eliminated by Shakhtar Donetsk in the preliminary round this season stuck in my throat. Playing in the Champions League with Monaco is not something that would displease me."

A recent report claimed that interested clubs would have to pay at least £59m to sign the midfielder during this summer's transfer window, with Monaco in a strong position to negotiate due to the length of time left on his contract.

Tchouameni has scored once and provided one assist in 31 Ligue 1 appearances this season, in addition to featuring on seven occasions in the Europa League.

The 22-year-old came through the youth system at Bordeaux, progressing through the various age groups before representing Bordeaux B during the 2017-18 campaign.

The midfielder went on to make 37 appearances for their first team before joining Monaco in January 2020, and he has now represented the principality outfit on 91 occasions, registering six goals and six assists in the process.

Tchouameni has also become an important player for France since making his debut last September, and he is widely expected to be a part of their squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Man United are preparing to sign at least one new central midfielder this summer, as Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic are both set to leave the club at the end of June.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, who are chasing a quadruple this season, are believed to be interested in boosting their midfield in the upcoming market.
