With links to midfielders continuing to mount up, reports have indicated that there is “definitely interest” from Liverpool in Nice’s Khephren Thuram. Thuram, son of legendary French defender Lilian, is one of a number of names to have been linked to the Reds ahead of a summer rebuild for ??s side. Jones wrote that Thuram’s profile makes him a “more than interesting proposition” for the Reds and that he could be “hard to resist” given Liverpool’s physical deficiencies in 2022/23. The youngster typically operates as a defensive midfielder for his club side and he also has one senior appearance in an impressive France squad on his CV.
reported in March that Thuram was aware of interest from Liverpool, along with other clubs, but it appears no formal approach has yet been made. Klopp will be looking to conduct major surgery on the midfield area this summer in an attempt to recover from a lacklustre campaign in all competitions. The majority of reported midfield targets have been players associated with playing in more progressive areas, with Alexis Mac Allister, Mason Mount and Matheus Nunes just some of the names linked with switches.
