After eliminating Liverpool in the Round of 16 of this year’s Champions League action, it appears that Atletico Madrid are interested in acquiring the services of one of the Reds’ top players.

The Colchoneros reportedly have their eyes set on midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, a move that could be made in conjunction with a swap for current Atletico midfielder Thomas Partey.

Partey, a defensive-minded midfielder that would help to shore up the Reds’ defense, has scored 3 goals across all competitions this season. Despite seeing more sparing playing time, Oxlade-Chamberlain has chipped in 7 goals this season, including 3 in Champions League play.

Partey, a Ghana international, has been linked with a move to the Premier League for the past several months. While Arsenal has reportedly been interesting in acquiring his services, if Liverpool are keen to this potential swap move, it could mean that he could head to this season’s presumptive champions.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has played for Liverpool since singing for the Reds on a $40 million transfer fee in August of 2017. The England international has spent his entire career in his home country after debuting with Southampton in 2010.

At the end of the day, if Liverpool and Atletico are both looking for some new blood in their midfield, this deal could be beneficial for both sides moving forward.

Jurgen Klopp delivered a hammer blow to Liverpool’s title hopes at his press conference today. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he confirmed, will miss the whole of next season due to injury.

The midfielder suffered multiple ligament damage in his knee during the Champions League semi-final against Roma.

Medical staff believes he will make a full recovery and the club is monitoring his progress closely. Liverpool is keen not to rush him back to avoid further injuries associated with player recovery, such as hamstring strains.

The player requested only a tight circle of staff know the severity of his injury. With the club preparing for its’ sixth Champions League final, Oxlade-Chamberlain felt the bad news would be disruptive to the squad.

Liverpool fans worst fears were fed further when Klopp added that it would be a “bonus” if the midfielder played before next May. Their concerns reflect his outstanding form prior to suffering the injury.

Having initially struggled following his £40m move from Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain became an integral member of the Liverpool team as the season progressed. According to some observers, it was close to the best of his career and certainly the most consistent.

He was almost certain to play a significant part in Gareth Southgate’s England squad this summer. Critics of the one-dimensional style believe his absence severely limited the England coaches options.
