Liverpool are ready to fork out £45 million to acquire the services of 22-year-old OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram.
According to a report by Tutto Juve, Liverpool are keen on having Khephren Thuram in their ranks. The 22-year-old has been doing wonders over the past 18 months and he is on the radar of some of the biggest clubs from across Europe.
Thuram came through the ranks at Monaco before joining Nice in the summer of 2019. He has gone from strength to strength since making this move. The 22-year-old midfielder’s impressive run recently earned his first-ever cap for the French national team.
Since getting promoted to the first team, he has featured in a total of 149 matches and has even contributed towards 19 goals. While he is a central midfielder, the French international can even feature a defensive midfielder.
His consistent performances have attracted the attention of Liverpool. The Merseyside club have been linked with Thuram since last summer. And, they are looking to soon make an offer for his services.
While the Reds have signed multiple midfielders during the summer transfer window, Jurgen Klopp is still looking for a few players to complete his midfield overhaul. And, the former Monaco midfielder could be a great fit for their system.
With his contract expiring in 18 months’ time, Nice are not in the best of positions and they might consider cashing in on him. According to the report, Liverpool have already enquired about the availability of the 22-year-old. And, they are ready to fork out £45 million to land the French international at their club.
The Reds are ahead of Juventus and Inter Milan in the race for his signatures. Both Italian clubs are looking to reinforce their midfield and are keen on having the Nice midfielder in their ranks. But, Liverpool are clear favourite because of the kind of financial strength the Premier League clubs have these days.
Thuram has already proved himself in France and his potential suggests he could do wonders for Jurgen Klopp’s team. With Liverpool ready to go big on the 22-year-old, it will be interesting to see if they can land him at the club.
