1 min read
Nice midfielder and France international Khéphren Thuram (22) is being considered a priority signing by Liverpool, according to a report from L’Équipe. The eldest son of renowned French defender Lilian Thuram is currently on international duty with France’s U21 team as Les Bleuets prepare for the European Championships.
The Reds are preparing to completely overhaul Jurgen Klopp’s midfield after James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keïta depart when their contracts expire in June. With the €41 million acquisition of Argentine Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister (24), the work has already begun.
The ongoing negotiations for Thuram are said to have picked up speed recently. According to the source, Thuram is not opposed to leaving Nice despite his loyalty to the Riviera club. Marcus Thuram’s (25) younger brother is reportedly drawn to the Reds by the opportunity to play for them. To the INEOS-owned club through 2025, the 22-year-old is committed.
