Liverpool ready to re-ignite their interest in 22-year-old Ligue 1 midfield star

Liverpool ‘ready’ to move for OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram

The transfer rumour mill is once again buzzing with Liverpool FC’s interest in Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram. The 22-year-old Frenchman is one of Nice’s most impressive players this season and has been an absolute linchpin in the middle of the park for the Ligue 1 side.

The first time Liverpool saw themselves linked with Thuram was during the summer transfer window earlier this year. However, the latest reports suggest that the club stands prepared to make a “strong move” for the talented midfielder in the upcoming January transfer window.

Despite Liverpool’s keen interest and willingness to make a significant financial commitment, the road to securing Thuram’s signature might not be a straightforward one. Nice, currently enjoying an unexpected surge as title contenders in Ligue 1, is likely to resist parting ways with their key players in the midseason transfer window.

Tutto Juve via ECHO has provided insights into Liverpool’s potential pursuit, claiming that the Premier League giants are ready to invest a substantial sum of £45m to bring Thuram to Anfield. Such a move would signal Liverpool’s intent to bolster their midfield options and inject youthful energy into the squad.

Thuram to the Reds?

Thuram has been making a name for himself with his performances in the heart of Nice’s midfield. Known for his technical ability, vision, and versatility, he represents the kind of dynamic midfielder who could thrive under Klopp’s system at Liverpool.

The emergence of Juventus as another interested party adds an additional layer of complexity to Liverpool’s pursuit of Thuram. However, we could rather do with the services of a proper defensive midfielder instead of a box-to-box like Thuram given we have a sizeable number of young players who could replicate the same role.

As the January transfer window approaches, Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Khephren Thuram.
