Liverpool still showing interest in Khephren Thuram

While there were a few doubts creeping in over price-tag issues and all of that, the latest update ensures that Liverpool are still actively in the race to sign Khephren Thuram.

That is according to Foot Mercato via liverpool.com and the reason for the Reds to rekindle their interest is also pretty understandable. The Reds are prepared to meet Nice’s valuation of Thuram, especially considering the potential exits of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. The uncertain futures of these midfield stalwarts necessitate the need for a contingency plan at Anfield.

Nice want about £43m for their midfielder, and if Liverpool could afford this, why not? Thuram presents an enticing option for Liverpool to bolster their midfield. His dynamic playing style and versatility make him an ideal fit for Jurgen Klopp’s system.

Under Klopp’s guidance, Thuram could thrive and contribute significantly to Liverpool’s midfield rebuild. Given this price tag, acquiring the French international would be a bargain for Liverpool. The relatively modest fee in today’s inflated market makes Thuram an attractive proposition, especially considering his potential impact and long-term value to the club.

The club’s successful track record in identifying and developing prospects gives fans confidence that Thuram could flourish at Anfield.

Liverpool fans will eagerly wait for news about Thuram joining the team as the transfer window goes on. We have already got on board Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai and another midfielder to the ranks would surely not do any harm.
