Liverpool get a boost in their pursuit of Nice’s Khephren Thuram

Liverpool FC’s pursuit of midfielder Khephren Thuram has been a topic of interest for fans and pundits alike. Capable of playing on both the left and right side of midfield, Thuram’s versatility makes him an appealing prospect for the Reds.

However, in recent weeks, talks about Thuram’s potential arrival at Liverpool have seemingly quieted down. The signings of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister may have shifted the club’s focus to other areas of the squad.

But with the departure of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, the situation at Liverpool has changed. The void left by these experienced midfielders may prompt the club to reconsider their stance on Thuram.

Interestingly, Nice’s sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, recently commented on Thuram’s situation. He acknowledged that the midfielder remains coveted by other clubs and didn’t rule out the possibility of a departure. Ghisolfi emphasized that while Nice hope to retain their key players, they won’t stand in the way of a transfer if all parties sit satisfied. Here is what he told France Bleu Azur via liverpool.com:

“Thuram and Todibo are coveted. We hope to keep all of our vital players, but we’ve never tied players down. If all parties are satisfied, a departure could happen.”

These comments from Nice’s sporting director could reignite Liverpool’s interest in Thuram. The Reds may see him as a potential solution to bolster their midfield options and fill the void left by Fabinho and Henderson. Thuram’s ability to contribute on both flanks would add depth and flexibility to Liverpool’s midfield setup.

As negotiations and transfer discussions continue, Liverpool must carefully assess their options. The departure of key players and the need to maintain a competitive squad may lead the club to reconsider Thuram as a viable option. However, we need experienced campaigners in midfield, and that should probably be the priority at the moment.
