Reports of Gravenberch-Tchouaméni Swap Deal Dismissed by Reliable Journalist
Speculation about a potential swap deal between Liverpool and Real Madrid involving Ryan Gravenberch and Aurélien Tchouaméni has been firmly denied by a trusted transfer journalist.
Rumors originating from Spain suggested Real Madrid’s interest in an exchange, but these claims have been categorically debunked.
