Liverpool are willing to fork out €45 million to sign OGC Nice midfielder star Khephren Thuram in the upcoming window.
According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool are keen on reinforcing their midfield ahead of next season and Khephren Thuram is a top target for the club. The Reds seem quite determined to prise him away from OGC Nice.
Thuram has only gone from strength to strength since moving to Nice from AS Monaco. He has been a consistent performer for them in the centre of the park and his work hasn’t gone unnoticed. While he prefers playing as a central midfielder, he has also done well in a deeper role when needed.
His ability to control the tempo of the game along with his technical strength suggests he has a bright future ahead. While there was a lot of interest in him last summer, Thuram ended up staying at the club but with his contract running in 2025, things could end differently this time around.
Liverpool ready to pay around €45 million for Thuram
Liverpool are the ones keen on having Thuram in their squad. The Reds have closely followed him in the recent past and his work seems to have impressed the people at the club. While they did undergo a major overhaul in the centre of the part last summer, the Merseyside club feel the need to add another young exciting midfielder to the mix.
With Thiago Alcântara’s departure almost certain, the 23-year-old could come in as an ideal long-term replacement. He could be a great addition to Arne Slot’s team, his arrival will add depth and it will give the new Liverpool manager more tactical options.
As per the report, the Reds are willing to make an offer close to €45 million to sign the young midfield star. People at the club feel his arrival could play a big part in them maintaining the levels reached during the Jurgen Klopp era.
While Liverpool are pushing hard, a potential transfer will depend on Nice’s willingness to negotiate. With multiple top clubs ready to battle the Reds for Thuram’s services, they will have to ensure they have a better project and an attractive offer to lure him to the club.
