OGN Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram and his agents are pushing hard for a move to Liverpool this summer.

After announcing the signing of Alexis Mac Allister yesterday, the Reds have now reportedly turned their attention to bringing in Thuram. And according to Football Transfers, they’re making some head-way on the deal.

They claim that having begun talks with the player directly, Liverpool have now reached ‘an agreement in principle’ over a contract. This will be good news for Thuram, who, along with his entourage, is said to have been ‘pushing’ for a move to Anfield.

Having reportedly agreed terms with the 22-year-old, Liverpool are now set to commence talks with Nice. It’s claimed that the French side will hold out for ‘maximum value’ of £55m for Thuram. Safe in the knowledge that Newcastle United are also interested, the Eagles look to be in a strong position.

Jurgen Klopp is said to be a ‘big fan’ of the player, though. As was former Nice boss Didier Digard, calling the France international ‘fantastic’ during his time at the club [RMC Sport]. Having reportedly opted against a move in January, Klopp is now said to be keen to push ahead with a move. And when he wants a player, Jurgen usually ends up getting them.

Thuram pushing for Liverpool move

Here we go, Reds. Klopp promised that Liverpool would be busy in the market this summer, and it looks like the manager was right.

With Mac Allister already tied up, it now looks like the Reds have firmed up their other midfield options.

In the months leading up to the window, there have been a large numbers of names mentioned in connection to Liverpool. With uncertainty over factors like Champions League qualification and whether Jude Bellingham would be brought in, the Reds reportedly had several different lists of targets.

As the market opens next week, Liverpool have already got one through the door. Early signs are that Klopp has decided exactly who they want, and are going full-throttle to get them early.

And all the signs would point to the fact that Thuram is the next name on the Reds’ hit-list. As a young player with big potential and a decent price-tag, he looks like ticking a lot of boxes.

One of those boxes is also the fact that he seems really keen on the move. Without Champions League football, Liverpool might have become less attractive to certain players this summer. But if they don’t want to join now, then frankly, we don’t want them.

As any club does, we only want to bring in players who are fully committed and on-board with the club. Thuram looks to be exactly that, and that makes things so much easier. Let’s get it done, Reds!
