Liverpool and Manchester United in intense talks for Khephren Thuram transfer
Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly in talks about bringing in Khephren Thuram, an extremely sought-after Nice midfielder. According to CalcioMercato, both Premier League giants have begun talks with Thuram’s club and his personal representatives in order to finalize a prospective transfer.
The 22-year-old French midfielder, who was widely linked with a move to the Premier League last summer, might make the move. Thuram has developed as one of Ligue 1’s most promising players, known for his defensive skills, fierce work ethic, and creative flair.
Liverpool are seemingly willing to spend £45 million to bring Thuram to Anfield after failing to sign a defensive midfielder in the last transfer window. Jurgen Klopp sees the youngster as a long-term answer for strengthening the Reds’ midfield, bringing steel, drive, and creativity.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, which is in need of midfield reinforcements, sees Thuram as a potential upgrade. Thuram might be a useful asset for the Red Devils, given Casemiro’s poor performances this season and Sofyan Amrabat’s disappointing performances.
Due to the Frenchman’s contract extension with OGC Nice until the summer of 2025, both teams are eyeing a possible trade in the coming summer transfer window, with the goal of securing Thuram for a low price. However, Competition for his signature is high with Manchester City and Juventus also professing strong interest.
The decision is now in Thuram’s hand, and football fans are anxious to discover where the brilliant midfielder will end up.
