In the ongoing transfer saga, Liverpool has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to sign Khephren Thuram from Nice. Despite recent additions to their midfield, including talents like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool is eager to reinforce their midfield firepower with Thuram, as reported by Tutto Juve.
While Newcastle United and Real Madrid have shown interest in the French star, Liverpool faces stiff competition from several top clubs such as Juventus, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund. Despite the widespread interest, Liverpool stands out as the preferred destination for the 22-year-old midfielder.
Thuram, who has started six matches this season, is under contract with Nice until 2025 and could potentially command a fee of €40 million (£34.61 million/$42.18 million). Liverpool’s previous attempts to secure Thuram’s signature in the summer fell through, leading the club to explore other options. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming January transfer window to see if Liverpool can strike a deal with Nice for the talented player. The competition is fierce, but Liverpool remains determined to bolster their squad with Thuram’s skill and potential.
