Liverpool have opened talks with OGC Nice as they look to sign their 22-year-old midfield sensation Khephren Thuram.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool are interested in acquiring the services of Khephren Thuram. The 22-year-old midfielder has been on their radar for a while now, and they have finally started making moves to sign him.
Thuram has made quite a name for himself over the past 12 months. He has put in consistent performances for OGC Nice in the Ligue 1. And, his performances have attracted a lot of attention.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder came through the ranks at AS Monaco before making a move to the French club. He joined them back in the summer of 2019 and has since gone from strength to strength.
As far as the recently-concluded season is concerned, the French international featured in 48 matches. He was on the pitch for over 3,700 minutes. Despite featuring as a defensive midfielder in the majority of the matches, the 22-year-old managed 10 goal contributions.
His performances caught the eye of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and they have been monitoring him for a while. The Merseyside club struggled in the 2022/23 season due to an inconsistent midfield, and they are pushing for a midfield overhaul ahead of next season.
They have already acquired the services of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion and are now are looking to land the 22-year-old in their ranks. Liverpool have initiated talks with OGC Nice as they look to strike a deal for Thuram’s services.
The Merseyside giants have been in dialogue with the French club and they will continue talks with them. While his contract with the Ligue 1 club runs until the summer of 2025, they are open to the idea of letting him leave if they receive the right price.
Nice are hoping for a bidding war for the 22-year-old as they look to get the best possible deal. After recent negotiations, Liverpool believe they can strike a deal for the French Under-21 star. However, they have identified Ryan Gravenberch as a backup option, just in case, the Thuram deal falls apart.
