Francisco Conceicao isn’t the only Juventus player being looked at by Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.Links to Conceicao emerged after it was confirmed that Mohamed Salah will be leaving at the end of the 2025/26 season.Liverpool’s interest is not quite as serious as may have first been suggested, but a new report from Italy has also mentioned the Merseyside outfit looking at Khephren Thuram. You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?
Who should Richard Hughes be targeting above all… Photo Credit: Getty Images/Robin Jones Liverpool make inquiries for Khephren ThuramGazzetta have commented on links to the Portuguese winger, before then sharing an update on Thuram.It is claimed that the French midfielder, who is under contract in Turin until 2029, will either renew his contract or leave.Juventus value Thuram at €40m (around £35m), while Manchester United are, along with Liverpool, said to have made ‘some inquiries’ about the player.The 25-year-old, who moved to Italy from Nice in 2024, remains a key figure for the Serie A outfit, playing 38 games, scoring three goals and assisting four in all competitions this term.He is a central midfielder capable of playing in a defensive role and could be just what Liverpool need in the summer transfer window.At present, the Reds are lacking a player who can start regularly and sit in front of the backline.Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are currently used in the pivot, but both are probably best in the attacking third of the pitch.Steven Gerrard has urged Liverpool to sign a defensive midfielder this summer, while Wayne Rooney previously said that position is a ‘big problem’ for the Reds.A reduced transfer budget may be in place at Anfield later this year if Arne Slot doesn’t bring Champions League football for 2026/27.But it has become clear due to the lack of options that a number six should be looked at over the summer. Whether that is going to be Thuram or another player remains to be seen.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
