Liverpool has witnessed the departure of three midfielders this summer, but the club has been proactive in bolstering the squad by securing the services of two quality midfield additions.
Khephren Thuram has long been linked with a move to Liverpool. And recent reports suggest that the club is prepared to negotiate a fee for his signing in the upcoming transfer window.
Foot Mercato, a French outlet, disclosed two days ago that the Reds hold a high regard for the Les Bleus star. As he showcased impressive performances in the French league last season.
The news source further mentioned that Nice, Thuram’s current club, would consider offers in the region of £42.8 million (50 million euros) to part ways with their prized asset in the current transfer window.
Moreover, Spanish source Nacional reported yesterday that Liverpool, along with La Liga champions Barcelona and German champions Bayern Munich. They both have also expressed interest in acquiring Thuram’s services.
The dilemma faced by Barcelona is their inability to meet the asking price. While Liverpool and Bayern Munich have demonstrated their willingness to agree to a fee of £42.8 million to secure the talented midfielder.
Romano has his say in Liverpool Transfer Window
Even renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed recently that the 22-year-old midfielder has a desire to join Anfield. This further adds to the speculation surrounding his potential move.
Should Liverpool face the prospect of losing players such as Jordan Henderson or Fabinho. Thuram’s arrival could prove vital in reinforcing the team’s midfield.
Similar to Fabinho, Thuram possesses a strong tackling ability and excels in disrupting the opposition’s play. Additionally, the young Frenchman demonstrates consistent pressing akin to Henderson, effectively pushing opponents back.
Furthermore, Thuram exhibits excellent dribbling skills and surpasses the Anfield duo in terms of contribution in the attacking third. In the previous season, the Nice star directly contributed to ten goals.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Khephren Thuram underscores their commitment to enhancing their midfield options. And securing a talented player who can significantly contribute to the team’s success.
