Liverpool have been linked with a move for Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram.
Real Madrid are keen to secure the services of the 24-year-old French midfielder, but they will face competition from the Premier League champions, according to Fichajes. The report claims that the midfielder is valued at €70 million.
Liverpool could use Khephren Thuram
It’s no secret that Liverpool need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. Thuram could prove to be a great addition. He showed his quality with Juventus and he also has the technical qualities needed to do well in the Premier League.
Liverpool need a midfield controller to support Ryan Gravenberch at the base of their midfield. Thuram could form a quality partnership with the Netherlands international. He is excellent at providing defensive coverage and controlling the pace of the game. He can also advance the ball. Signing him would allow Alexis Mac Allister to operate with more freedom. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool follow up on their interest with a formal proposal to complete the deal.
Juventus will not want to lose an important player like him, but they could be tempted if a lucrative offer was presented. Liverpool have the resources to pay a premium for him. They are looking to build a formidable team capable of winning all the trophies, and they have spent considerable money this summer. They are looking to further improve the team. Ideally, they should look to invest in a central midfielder, a central defender and another wide player.
Thuram might want to move
The French international would be an exceptional acquisition for them. He is still quite young and will only improve with coaching and experience. He has all the tools to become a top player in the Premier League.
The opportunity to move to Liverpool could be exciting for Thuram. It would be a breakthrough for him and he would join one of the biggest clubs in the world. Liverpool recently won the league title and have shown that they are capable of regularly challenging for major trophies. Any player could be tempted to be part of his project. The Reds have been following Thuram for over a year.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid also need more quality in the middle of the park. They will constitute an attractive destination for the player. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it remains to be seen whether they can beat Liverpool to his signature.
