Liverpool are interested in signing Khephren Thuram from OGC Nice at the end of the season.
According to RMC Sport, Liverpool have met with the 22-year-old French midfielder’s representatives, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal in the coming weeks.
Liverpool are looking to strengthen their central midfield, and they have been linked with players such as Manu Kone and Alex MacAllister.
Thuram has been a key player for Nice, and the midfielder is said to be worth more than €40 million. To entice the player away from France, Liverpool will have to make a substantial offer, and they will face competition from Paris Saint-Germain as well.
Thuram possesses the characteristics necessary to develop into a complete central midfielder, and working with a world-class coach like Jurgen Klopp could help him realise his enormous potential. A move to Liverpool would be a significant step up in his career, potentially accelerating his development.
The 22-year-old is capable of playing both defensive and central midfield. Thuram has two goals and eight assists this season across all competitions.
Next season, he will provide defensive cover, physicality, and creativity to the Liverpool midfield.
According to RMC Sport, the Reds are in advanced talks to sign Alexis MacAllister, and it remains to be seen whether they can pair the World Cup winner with Thuram in the coming weeks.
