Liverpool has made significant changes to their midfield this summer. Thus, parting ways with three midfielders while simultaneously securing the services of two quality midfield additions. This proactive approach is for enhancing the overall strength and depth of the squad in the midfield department.
Liverpool has been linked with Khephren Thuram for a considerable period. Recent reports suggest that they are preparing to negotiate a transfer fee. That is in order to secure his signature during the current summer transfer window.
Just two days ago, Foot Mercato, a French outlet, reported that Liverpool holds high regard for the French international and recognizes his talent. Thuram was one of the standout performers in the French league last season. The news source also stated that Nice would be open to considering offers of approximately £42.8 million (50 million euros). This is in order to transfer their prized asset during the current transfer window.
Yesterday, the Spanish source Nacional reported that Liverpool, alongside La Liga champions Barcelona and German champions Bayern Munich, are all interested in securing the services of Thuram. These esteemed clubs have expressed their interest in enticing the talented player to join their respective teams.
Liverpool looking to bolster their midfield this summer
Barcelona is facing a dilemma as they are unable to meet the requested transfer fee for Thuram. However, both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are reportedly willing to agree to the £42.8 million valuation in order to secure his services. Additionally, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the 22-year-old midfielder has expressed a desire to move to Anfield. Thus, further fueling speculation about a potential transfer to Liverpool.
If Liverpool were to lose either Henderson or Fabinho, signing Thuram could serve as a valuable reinforcement in the midfield. Similar to Fabinho, Thuram possesses a strong ability to tackle and disrupt the opponent’s play. Additionally, like Henderson, the young midfielder exhibits consistent pressing to apply pressure and force opponents into making mistakes. Acquiring Thuram would help maintain the desired attributes and qualities in Liverpool’s midfield. Hence, ensuring a formidable presence in the center of the park.
Furthermore, Thuram offers an additional dimension to his game as he excels in dribbling and displays greater attacking prowess compared to the current Anfield duo. In the previous season, the talented Nice star made direct contributions to ten goals, showcasing his ability to impact matches offensively. His proficiency in the attacking third would provide Liverpool with an added threat and creativity from midfield.
